But honestly, I feel a more base, emotionally driving hatred towards the more immediate capitalists in my life. I hate my landlord, I hate my district manager, I hate my uncle who makes 250k a year sending emails. These are more the people I want to rip out of their homes kicking and screaming to the guillotines.

Pretty much every successful communist revolution didn't direct their fury towards just the richest of the richest, they recognized there were people down the hierarchy who were still exploiters who deserved the wrath of the proletariat. Calling for the liquidation of American Kulaks would do more for socialism in America than trying to get people to strike against Bezos.

The point of having a structural analysis is that the problems which manifest in your life are not really the fault of the individual people who surround you. Their bodily destruction will not help anything. Their actions can be organized around, struggled against. But they aren't the stars of the show. Your district manager is highly replaceable. If you were the district manager, you'd be on some other schmuck's list.

Politics isn't a question of "who should I hate?" it is a question of "what should we do?".

In the post revolutionary world, annoying uncles will persist. There's always gonna be people who rub you the wrong way. What we want is that shitty behavior is not rewarded with increased power.

Have you been involved in any local/IRL organizing? Generally these are in fact focused on local targets. I doubt your tenant union will be picking Elon Musk as their first opponent. I infer your frustrations about "the left" might be too much focus on Online Discourse. As Online is geographically dispersed, it is only possible to discuss globally known celebrities in any detail.

There is very little left organizing focused on revenge killings at any level, municipal or international.
