    That’s how we end up with the next Napoleon.

    If we kill them without knowing what they do, things won’t change.
    If we know what they do, we don’t have to kill them.

        We are not in a prison. We can do whatever it takes to have a good life. If we can’t do that without killing 8 people then I expect that it doesn’t help much to kill them.

                It’s not about justice, it’s about changing the system. And current justice does not accomplish that end.

                The European vs the US prison system, is punishment enough?

                If the billionaires should be threatened into caring for everybody else, then the more likely outcome will be that the next 8 will make sure that they cannot be punished.

                On the other hand, if the people have the power to kill any billionaire, why don’t they have the power to arrange the economy to the better on their own?

                    In France, temporarily. Or do emperors not count?

                    And the Aristocracy was replaced with the Bourgeoisie. Was that better?
