Not that I’m particularly against that - quite the opposite, in fact. But I’m wondering if anyone sees, or had seen a path to social and climate recovery/progress that could occur without first eradicating the class of people who most enjoy the present status quo.

    You don’t have to eradicate all of them, just each year have the richest person in the world executed. Only one. Watch all these billionaires race to give their money away and put it into philanthropic endeavours in an effort to not be king of the hill.

    Of course, if any of them are found to be evading or hiding the true extent of their wealth, execution. And money invested in their own organisations/businesses would also of course be counted as theirs, though I don’t even think that would be necessary - if you become too good at amassing wealth you cease to be.

    Also, if you want to set your kids up for life, it would make not giving them huge inheritances be the best policy - just enough to get by comfortably.
