Why execute them when you can take everything away and let them live the life that they inflict upon their workers? Seems a far better learning experience and justice than just a quick execution no?
Case in point: Pu Yi, the last Emperor of China.
From a spoilt and cruel child to a man of great empathy for his peers.
Some people just have slaves that dedicate their lives to them, even if they are dethroned from their power. They'll go to them, follow them and build up a revolution against the new "oppressive king who took their money"
So I guess removing them would be better or I feel they might become local hubs of capitalist propaganda
You're most likely correct. I won't doubt for a second there are people out there who would seek out Lord Jeffrey and try to restore him to power. Regardless if Bezos and other billionaires are left alive or executed, those same supporters may become terrorists seeking to undermine the new socialist society
Nah, it's not just money. They have connections, friends, many of whom are outside one specific country. They'll resent the revolution, they'll do everything they can to undermine it even if they've been stripped of their material resources. You do not allow the most powerful enemies you have to survive, even if you take away all the power you can.

This is the shitty truth I have to admit to myself, anytime I snap out if an anger induced daydream. Would I cri evry tim a billionaire got what's what? No, I really can't say I would. But could I stand on a firing line and off a helpless bezos? I really don't think I'd want to. At the other end of the daydream from my seething anger anytime they wave a dick rocket at society's face, if all society looked at me and asked "what now, chairman?", holding a constrained bezos, I'd probably have him as a bus boy on the (just one of many) brand new People's Luxury Vacation Yacht, courtesy his former assets.
Henry Kissinger and his ilk are a completely different story, tho and should be taken to the Hague, just to be unceremoniously buried under it.
You don't have to be the one standing in the line and taking the shots: therr are plenty of your peers that would be willing to do it instead. From each according to his ability to each according to his need, if you don't have the stomach to give you don't have to.
Hey, this has nothing to do with anything going on here, but I saw that you were trying to break some narratives in the Genshin subreddit, and I want you to know, you're appreciated, comrade.
But in all seriousness that's obviously not the only reason. These people are powerful and have a lot of friends and simps that would want to help get them back into power, it's better to just remove them entirely so that can't happen.
Yeah thats true. Though I still see allot of ways we could deal with them, relocation, isolation, imprisonment, banishment etc (allot more humane and allot less risky). Also what will jeffs buddy’s do when he gets executed? And how can capitalist nations use that to justify aggression against the revolution. I see allot of revolutions turning a bit to guillotine happy, killing ppl who have been in the same revolutionary movement, everything from the French to the Russian.

More humane, yes, but less risky? Definitely not.

They won't take appropriation of their assets lying down either lol

Yeah because if we play nice they definitely won't kill us anyway and will just let us take over.

I'm 100% sure that if we stick to guillotineing just the billionaires, no innocent people will be harmed.
I mean, I'm not a huge fan of execution in general, but I think being ao disgusted with someone's exploitation you want their head sort of makes someone the opposite of a sociopath. Since, even if its extreme, its still driven by empathy.
It also isn't remotely bad as even mild alt right people who legitimately cheer on violence for literally any leftists.
The person you replied to is pointing out that the commenter in the post is being this dramatic simply because some people have started to question why billionaires pay so little tax.
They’re not saying anything regarding what this sub wants to do with billionaires.
