If history shows us anything, it’s that there will be no change with the American system until Americans start giving enough of a shit to start killing those in the ruling class that enable this.
The citizens of San Francisco literally started hanging politicians when their corruption got exposed back in the 1850’s and Sherman himself said “it’s a lost fucking cause”. The American public, especially the liberal side, has been pacified over the course of almost a century to believe violence is never the answer and peaceful protest will bring about change. But I think that is probably changing, given the reaction to the health insurance CEO’s assassination.
CEOs are scum, but they aren’t the top of the food chain. They’re usually 1 or 2 steps down. And it’s really the corporations themselves we should be killing!
Take away their tools.
If you can’t manage that, you can usurp there power by providing any of the same products or services as non-profits or non-profit co-ops.
Joining credit unions, food co-ops, housing or power/water co-ops, CSAs, are all good ways to hit corps where it hurts the most, without relying on the gov to revoke their charters.
For-profit co-ops and B-Corps are a half-measure, but also a step in the right direction.
I’d settle for them just not voting for the people that enable this, but the best we can expect is for them to give a narrow majority to the lesser evil for a few years.
The fact that tens of millions of Americans actively support these actions and tens of millions more can’t be bothered to go to a poll to stop it means that hoping for any kind of armed change is a waste of time. If they can’t be bothered to pick up a ballot they’re not going to pick up a rifle. Best to boycott them and hope that their economy collapses to the point where they can’t afford to maintain their military.

If they kept assassinating CEO’s, they would not have to go after the leaders at all.

CEO’s are rich people, rich people have power, and rich people who act like psychos are a contamination.
Way easier to smoke 100 leads of a corp, than the corp itself.
