A guy who I've known many decades said that my embrace of the far left had lowered his opinion of me a lot.

We were talking about wealth taxes, qua my earlier post about 90% tax rates. But not just income taxes, estate taxes, real estate taxes, generally speaking, asset taxes.

The billionaire class has to cease to exist. What the bootlickers defending them seem to not understand, is that this is the *nice* way to make that happen.

You should read The Rebel by Albert Camus
Everyone advocating violence and murder for rebellion should read it. It will make you think.

@JoBlakely @marcas the deaths of Robespierre, his brother, and friends, got me there already. Peaceful revolution is always preferable to violent revolution.
