This is literally idealism.

You have an idea about a market solution to the problem, and then act like you've solved the problem.

The problem isn't a lack of ideas! The problem is a lack of implementation! You have to get these ideas into the real world somehow, and revolution is the only way you can do that. There are billionaires aligned against implementing these ideas. You have to stop them.

Revolution is also more than eating the rich. Its also setting a framework for the future through non-violent action. Organizing and interacting both with local communities and national and international concerns.

So we all burn while you try to change the system instead of focusing on the problem at hand. Great and thanks.

Did I say that was the only thing?

Because if you ignore this now to burn down the rich, you'll be burning later anyways.

Its over man, I just look at those sad little true believers as pathetic comic relief.

They'd be the ones in the town squares pre-revolution scolding passers by for not blindly following the wisdom of their oppressive monarchs.

"Stay the course! So I can feel like I'm safe and that everything is working as it's supposed to!"
