This guy is actually destroying the capital. Ruining the richest men on earth. He should stay in place, and unhinged longer and longer.

When he will crash the stock market enough, and manage to do what no revolution ever did, then the workers will have enough power to seize the mean of production, since the stocks will be so cheap, and the former billionaire on their knee without their imaginary wallstreet wealth.

I suppose there are some downside I have a blind-spot on, but for now trump seems to be the best anti-capitalist tool there ever was.

What are some tankies thinking?

I disagree on the basic idea that a stock market loss doesnt destroy capital.

For me the definition of a capitalist society, is that the revenue of capital out perform the revenue of work. Based on that, if a stock market stop providing crazy return. Then the revenue of capital is reduced. Hence you move toward a less capitalistic society.

But as you said there are always other capital owner (Warren Buffet at the moment) to keep the system afloat, and it will just be a reorganization of wealth between wealthy.
