"we're doing socialism now, your kids are taken care of cause everyone is taken care of"
"good job making a few bucks, you can use your surplus on some luxuries while you're alive. Your kids didn't earn that, so you don't get to just throw it at them when you die. They will have to work like everyone else (including you) if they want to be rich too"

Nah, no taxes. Taxation of the rich creates a dependency of the system on the continued existence of the rich for revenue.

It should be a discrete mass expropriation of wealth and private property. The goal is not to allow the bourgeois to remain in control of industry and capital and skim off their profits, the goal is to end their ownership entirely and directly take control ourselves. Going down the taxation route opens you up to tax strikes from the rich as well crippling state revenue.

Yeah exactly. Lay out something completely reasonable, if there are fighters then they get dealt with because fighting is obviously not allowed. The position is reasonable.

They can die with luxury and phase out without causing a wider problem provided they are completely disempowered. That disempowerment will need to be monitored for security too but I suspect most of them will just want to keep their heads down.

The next generation will probably be a bigger problem than the current one because they're gonna be PISSED that they lost those things, but that's a bridge to cross in years down the line. They are your future gusanos.
