100 years ago we just killed them and redistributed their wealth, which is part of what fixed the Great Depression.
Same goes for almost 200 years ago where the rich tried to use their power to separate from the union, and again we killed a ton of them and redistributed their wealth as punishment.
This is a natrual cycle in the US at this point. Every centry the rich decide they want to own the country and make everyone slaves again, and it requires us killing them and redistributing their wealth to reset the cycle
You’re really gonna have to source that. I’ve never heard of elites being killed and their wealth being redistributed during the great depression. There were plenty of suicides though. Basically everyone was affected back then. Including the rich. And many of them committed suicide after the stock market crash in 1929. Them being killed and their wealth redistributed really sounds like BS to me. We came out of the great depression through legislation. Not through violence.

Wha? I thought Congress passed estate taxes starting in 1916, the robber barons didn’t live as long as today, so they died of old age and disease more-or-less like regular people.
I never heard of many of them being killed.
I’d be interested to hear more about patterns of killing.
