If they’re holding us back, why do we need them. How are they in our way? Why don’t we just take the party from them or make our own with blackjack, hookers, and abortion if it’s so easy to win?
First off, Some mod is reading “Guillotine Party” and thinking I’m advocating violence. I’m not. I’m advocating a French Revolution, where the third estate takes their nation back from the oligarchs of the second estate.
Just as the modern Tea Party adopted historical symbolism to identify and rally people to their cause of action, we should use the most visible symbol of the French Revolution to focus our own efforts against wealth disparity: the guillotine.

That is exactly what the Tea Party did to the GOP, and that is exactly what we need to be doing to the Democratic Party. We need to destroy billionaires, not by removing their heads, but by removing their billions. Every cent they aren’t spending is a loss of income to a worker, and a loss of income tax to the government. We are all paying a higher portion of our earnings to give them the privilege of extracting wealth from the economy.

Is, is this satire? I can’t even tell anymore.
Now, not that I disagree with what I think you’re saying over all. But… How did the French do that, and maybe that association could give someone reasonable suspicion.
We need to rebuild the solidarity of labor. As well as educating many that they are also part of labor. Talk about taxing the 1%, some Brain Trust somewhere will think your targeting him. Hell they’ll do that even if you talk about taxing the 0.1%. IT workers are some of the worst. It’s like brother they won’t let you do the same job from home. They’re demanding that you be there so they can stand and look over your shoulder and justify office space. On call 24/7 with no dedicated off time. Have to keep limping along with completely inadequate resources. While CEOs and other c-suite officers take home pay raises. F****** unionize Brothers.
But yeah the French Revolution was very violent. And the guillotine is a singular symbol of that violence.
The French had no other means of achieving their objectives in 1789. They didn’t have a democracy. They didn’t have the ability to eliminate their “billionaires” by taking their billions. They could only get rid of their “billionaires” by taking their heads.
Unlike the French Revolutionaries, we have the framework of a functioning democracy already established. It’s currently broken and non-functional, but it exists.
We don’t need the guillotine, but we do need the mindset, the attitude, the commitment that the revolutionaries had when they decided to use the only tool they had available to them.
