What Wealthy CEOs Fear More Than Lone Vigilantes
You know what would scare our ruling elite more than some guy with a gun murdering a CEO? People organizing together outside of the parameters the ruling elite have set for us. People refusing to fall into the left/right paradigm and, instead of beating up on fellow workers, deciding to organize along class lines. That would scare the shit out of the ruling elite.
Some of you are hopped up on the idea of the ruling elite being frightened by the prospect of a lone gunman picking them off one by one. They’re certainly not pleased with the idea but they’d prefer it to people working together to reclaim control of the government, making it once more something resembling a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Overall, the lone gunman taking out a CEO is much more rare than a school shooting, and God knows our ruling elite have no problem with that.
There are many people saying “We’ve tried non-violent means and it hasn’t worked.” Uh, with all due respect, no you haven’t. What you’ve done is sat back and hoped things would get better. That’s not non-violence, that’s non-resistance. Perhaps you’ve tried the electoral process. Again, that is not non-violent resistance, that is playing according to the rules dictated by the ruling class and expecting to beat them at their own game. That’s delusional. That’s childish.
