Hi, I'm the rich. On behalf of myself and others like me, I'd like a say a few words. First, we think that this approach is misguided. There have always been rich people and there always will be. Just because we have better stuff than you doesn't mean you can't have a decent life. We don't really care either way, but it's really not up to us what happens to your life. Hell, you can make money and join us.

Here's the thing, though. Anything we give you will just lead you to demand more things. If we give you healthcare you will want basic income, affordable housing, good public transportation, improvements to public education, free college and daycare, vacations, limited working hours, etc. So we're just going to go ahead and say no right now. If you insist on going ahead with your plan to eat the rich, we will shut off payment systems and banks nationwide. We will stop all deliveries of power sources and food. Some of you are going to have enough cash on hand to feed your family for a week. Most of you won't, especially when the prices spike. I assure you that the flesh of the rich will not be sufficient to feed all of you. Then you will get to experience supply and demand first hand when a hundred people fight for the last can of beans in the supermarket they just trashed. Ever watch the walking dead? It will be kind of like that except with less food. We will be watching it live from Switzerland surrounded by an army of mercenaries.

In conclusion, you can eat some of us. The rest of us and our money will be safe far away from you. And when you're done ripping each other apart for rat meat, gasoline, and potable water, our soldiers will walk through, clean up the survivors and enslave your children. Just something to keep in mind.

Communism is a dead paradigm, OP, just like capitalism shortly will be. We'll either make the successful leap to a post-scarcity society or the next phase of our civilization will be a return to the barter system.

Either way the rich are gonna end up as food so no worries there.

Something like 50% of all rich people are preppers and have reserved spots in huge self-sustaining complexes/bunkers for just such an occasion. They also have vacation houses in other countries that are more rich people friendly. And yachts. And private security trained to murder thousands of poors on command. Hope you guys are up for a challenge!

Yeah but the private security belong to the poor class, and will eat the rich guy they're supposed to be protecting. And then they'll take his stuff.

the second any rich person is hung from a post the media will demonize the people who did it and society at large will follow suit, then the rich will be all like "look really, we need these laser death towers, remember that time the muslim islamomarxist terrorists MURDERED a JOB PROVIDER?" and people will look to each other and be like "yeah that was scary!" as they help the robots construct the death towers

this is why rich people security will soon be replaced with robots

also the world's armies and police forces (which the 1% also control)

future is going to just be poors getting owned by drones because they are "rioting" (starving to death and begging for help) in the streets

You just have to gain enough ground that you can tell the private security guys that they can reasonably expect to keep all they can carry out for the rest of their lives.

yup

People think super robots would bring about some star trek utopia of universal income and everyone being cool.

The fact is, if we invented robots that could be programmed to do any job, the first job the rich would program them to do would be to kill the poor.

for the first time in history they'll be able to negate our one advantage over them (our numbers), so of course they have to take that opportunity

i watched a documentary about one of those billion dollar security teams and they really are efficient to the point where putting in your 10 years as a marine, cop, etc and applying for the job would be easier than beating them lol
