Yeah p much.

Take the capital.

Administrate it democratically.

Look at anyone whining about economic growth like the pitiful idiot they are.

Setting aside the bold correctness of "killing people is bad" as a position,

Isn't it more satisfying to take their power and money away and make them watch it happen?

That's the revolution card game where you have to collect heads and avoid/trick your friends into beheading 'martyr' classed nobles and all, right? If so yea that game rules.

I am really good at Guillotine because I can clearly imagine myself destroying the decadent rich for the satisfaction of a cheering crowd and my own glorification and it feels good

IRL of course I am strictly a tar-and-feathers advocate all the way

I think it's much better to take their power and money (which they stole anyway) and then behead them.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Not when you have the conscripted continental armies of the world aristocracy at your back, whipped into killing foreigners so they can smuggle republicanism in its crib and restore your hereditary titles.

Fighting an aristocratic nobility isn't like seizing the assets of a capitalist and sending them to a re-education camp. So long as they're alive, then their titles are too. There's always some reactionary group out there that dreams of restoring the monarchy and its attendant class. Their mere existence represents an existential threat to the revolution.

Even nowadays, there are long dispossessed heirs of German nobility running around, who plenty of dork nerds cream their jeans over re-instating as sovereigns.

Trump said he looks forward to working with Chuck Schumer. I haven't heard anything about Chucky protesting, so I'm guessing he's already dreaming of how much Homeland Defense money he can grab.

It would be hilarious(ly awful) if Trump were to stake out every prominent Democrat who even remotely has a chance in 2020 and offer them positions in his administration. Even if they turn him down, that'd probably be enough to poison them in some folks' eyes.

On one hand, that's what the PEOTUS is supposed to say.

On the other, gently caress Schumer for not pulling a McConnell. I know Reid would.

Tulsi Gabbard met with Trump regarding the possibility of a seat on his cabinet (State/Def probably)

He's probably still trying to maintain the illusion that he is Above Party Politics despite filling most of his cabinet with Republican hacks already; I don't know WHAT her deal is because the fact that she's hawkish as poo poo on Muslims has always been her achilles heel w/r/t progressivism

She's either trying to worm her way in to do some good in what ways she can, or she really wants to bomb some muslims, it's not clear yet

If you are selling yourself as a principled progressive who doesn't compromise then compromising is a bit of a bigger deal than if someone who sells themselves as a slime monster compromises
