    Whether or not it can be resolved with violence, it will not be resolved with targeted assassinations by a handful of people.

    There is no example where a capitalist system was toppled with targeted assassinations. There are lots of examples where the security state got a whole hell of a lot more oppressive after them though.

    I’m sure that totally won’t happen this time in the U.S. for sure.

      That’s such bullshit, security escalation happens either way, they don’t need any excuse, just see the track record. Also, it’s not like anyone is saying this killing solved capitalism, they just know its impact has shaken the ideological foundation a lot more than finger-wagging at people on the internet

        The Internet has not changed the ideological foundation in the slightest. It has sparked some calls for reform, but the capitalistic ideology hasn’t been changed at all through this murder.

          I said shaken, change takes longer, but things like this are part of it

          I never implied that, but it’s definetely something that didn’t seem possible in many mines before
