    Killing the people using the system and not the system itself just treats the symptoms, but not the disease.

      I’m not advocating violence, but don’t the symptoms need handled to treat the disease at some point?

        Kind of? If the disease (Capitalism) goes away, so too will the symptoms. It isn’t necessary to kill the Bourgeousie, just make them irrelevant and whither away.

        If the state does not uphold their rights to property, they have no power.

          Right. ‘Handle’ was not necessarily code for ‘murder’. But something’s gotta give and the aforementioned bourgeoisie are unlikely to take whatever that ends up being lying down.

            Revolution is generally what will be required, yes, just not mass extermination of Capitalists or anything. Capitalists only have power via the state, after all.
