    No, it would not cause change. More would quickly take their place. The problem ultimately isn’t the billionaires, but the system that allows them to exist.

      the system that allows them to exist.

      Which they maintain (and rig further for their benefit) with their exorbitant wealth and power, let’s not be coy.

      Sure, killing them all isn’t enough on its own, but abolishing capitalism will never happen as long as they, and their power, exist, and very few, if any at all will give it up voluntarily (to begin with, anyway), leaving us only one choice. They are what is destroying the planet and oppressing, and killing, millions of people, proactively and by choice, the “magic hand of capitalism” didn’t force them in to their positions.

      Depends. If it happens once, you’re right. Nothing would change. But after the 2nd or 3rd time in a year? I think the people who inherit it will start seeing a little more charitably.
