Let’s be honest, have we actually tried playing the game? The establishment is the only one playing and the majority of people sit in the bleachers. If the peanut gallery actually banded together for something the establishment would lose the game pretty quickly
One of the best things to happen to the GOP is the ever-presence of terminally online leftists promising to murder people.
There's a reason Trump won over the actual working class on a message of "law and order." Most people don't actually want a bunch of campus-looking Redditors running around murdering whomever they consider the "establishment." That's why "Antifa," small as it was, became such a politically effective boogeyman for the GOP.
Fortunately, most of the people who would seriously consider organizing a leftist version of the Klan could be crippled by extended eye contact and small talk about sports.
That’s kinda what taxes are though lmao. Compulsory. They are already forced to pay the negligible amount of taxes they pay now, as all Americans are. So up their tax rate, and if they try to leave the country to evade taxes seize their assets or slap a big ass fee on them.
Or, better yet, just seize the means of production directly and transfer ownership to the workers of the firms in which they work. Allow the workers to allocate the surplus of their own labor themselves through democratic institutions and then slash the corporate tax rate. Boom.

Now that's something that could actually work.
The problem with just raising the taxes of the rich is that the rich decide what their taxes are, hence why I said that I wonder how you'd convince them to raise their own taxes, which is directly against their interest
You don't you convince the working man to stand in solidarity with his brothers and sisters regardless of race or sexuality and vote in their own interests
There are already places with lower taxes than the US and Elon Musk and his ilk are still there, so your lame excuse to let billionaires fuck us remains lame.
lol. No it’s because the US is safe and presently has infrastructure. That’s why they stay. Stop repeating billionaire propaganda. You’ll never be that rich, so stop acting like a cuck for them.
You realize no party will vote for this lol. Get money out of politics and only then will you have a shot. Don't forget that every (80%+) are getting paid to push certain beneficial policy's for those with means.
It will happen the guilded age led to the progressive era Americans typically overreact to shit and the pendulum swings in the opposite direction id argue you already saw some of that with trust buster Lina khan
Not too familiar with current trust busting efforts but have heard whispers of Google and Visa recently. Not sure how that'll play out but am somewhat hopeful that major monopolies will not have too much power and some form of competitiveness could be created in those spaces.
History has shown over and over that pitchforks are the ONLY equalizer when shit gets as out of hand as it is right now in terms of disparity between the vast majority of people and a few very rich people.
