I wish more people would understand this. If you remove the capitalists, capitalism will just make more. You need to remove capitalism, though obviously the capitalists will fight you on that and you may want to remove them from the system anyway. In either case, a lot of eat the rich discourse sounds like it’s out of spite and not in search of actual solutions.
Frankly the actual individuals at the top of the corporate pyramids are probably the least important elements in the whole fucked structure. If we disassemble the foundations, well, they have a long way to fall and we won’t need to push.
I just see it as venting. People feel better when they see a whole bunch of others agreeing when they say “eat the rich.”
When I see it I just laugh and think “yeah right, you’re literally never going to do that. We’ll bitch on reddit lemmy and then never do anything about it.”
