i mean think of it this way; if your goal is to reform basically all aspects of human relations to each other, their labor, and the things they produce, it's PROBABLY a good idea to generally disavow the blueprint you used to seize and build a large apparatus of power that allowed you to steer that process in the first place. not that a state will ever be FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE or anything, but when you have a presence in your daily life of some kind of unassailable amount of power/authority, you create and perpetuate systems that allow bad behaviors to prosper via exploitation/corruption in the short term (because taking shortcuts with people's lives is always more efficient than dealing honestly with them) and springboard into more nasty problems via capture of systems of power or creation of parallel structures that mimic what you've already got going on, so they can exert the same type of pressure or reinforcing hierarchy on free proles that you can as the Good State, but say "and do it or else will kill you" because they're fash poo poo heads.

This feels like the political equivalent of someone correctly identifying some engineering problems with an internal combustion engine but then instead of offering an actual solution just saying "therefore we should use this perpetual motion machine that I invented"

Killing ceos is trying to solve a systematic problem by targeting “bad” people

Basically what fascists do because the “wrong” people are in power

You gotta abolish capitalists as a class not kill them all

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

The end goal is to abolish their power, if they wont play ball (which most probably won't) then you have trouble. If you just go around knocking off random capitalists you're not gonna get much done

The Carnation Revolution was just the Portuguese military shrugging their shoulders and giving up on their efforts to keep their African colonies even if they had to kill everyone in it.

the systematic problem is that the class that CEOs are a part of have power and use the power to create a system that gives them more. so yes killing the people running our corrupt system is, in fact, a solution

the carnation revolution is interesting in that it was a revolt by a pretty genuinely leftist element of the military. the closest you have to it i can think of only really happened in post-colonial nations ie Nasser, Gaddafi, Ne Win in Burma, etc but portugal was still an imperial state at the time. and then those same military elements attempted another leftist coup when it was clear the revolution was being coopted by liberals, which failed. theres not much else like it.

that said its very weird to say it was the Only Good Revolution when calling it a revolution itself is shaky, it was a popular military coup by lower officers.
