isn't that part of it
I would expect so. I said "but" as in, "even if we just do this and dont carry out other requirements immediately" kind of "but"
i don't think we can get rid of them without socialism
I think a certain italian plumber says otherwise.
The thing with Adventurism is that it doesn't change anything. The path to getting rid of billionaires requires organizing and toppling the system that necessarily gives rise to them, not by killing them as they crop up. Luigi played a valuable role in showing the Working Class that, actually, they have more in common with each other in their shared hatred of their natural enemy, but he didn't get us any closer to taking down that system.
the billionaire is dead, long live the billionaire
I don't know, it also seems very difficult to achieve world wide socialism. but then again it is also hard to cull people's desire to become powerful over others. there will always be those aspiring to become billionaires but yet it seems easier to motivate majority of humans to do away with billionaires then to convince them to accept socialism.
