Drama in r/Documentaries as u/Taco86 advocates for murdering the rich. "Every single problem in this world currently can be fixed by rounding up about 5000-6000 "people" and you know which ones I'm taking about, and putting a bullet in the back of their heads. Eat the rich."

Eating the Rich certainly would not solve the problems associated with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease though.

My concern would be that, in the glorious, non-coercive, stateless society that would follow the feast, symptoms of Creutzfeldt-Jakob would be seen as proof of true revolutionary zeal, and that those people would begin to form a neo-aristocracy.

Clearly, I'm not a liberal who actually opposes eating the rich, I just think that, in order to ensure the success of the revolution, that our comrades who sit at that glorious table should leap into a volcano to protect the revolution.

Responding to the problem of then having to kill the new rich people that would rise up when the first batch had been done in:

There's a reason the back of shampoo bottles tell you to rinse and repeat.

I don't subscribe to pacifist logic any longer.

Yeah. But that was about shampoo, not revolution.

Hey, the instructions on the back of my hand soap say to wash in warm water thoroughly. Does this mean I should buy a big plastic tub for scrubbing down the wealthy?

Well duh. Wash your food before you eat it.

What if you're vegan? Do rich people contain any meat or animal products?

u/Stellar_Duck Apr 10 '16

Hmm.

Good point. Maybe vegans will need to eat really expensive tofu?

If you kill the top 5000 people every cycle you'll eventually kill everyone. I guess that could be considered a solution in a way.

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '16

Unless you live in absolute poverty, eventually you'd become part of the top 5000. Does that mean you should sacrifice yourself for the greater good?

That's why you only kill pregnant women, then you're getting a two for one deal

Eugh, raw meat...

Babies will never be among the richest because they're babies. Eventually all of the adults will die, which will doom every dependent child to imminent death.

u/ArttuH5N1 Apr 11 '16

Let's kill the children so they don't die!

An old friend of mine from high school talks like this all the time. He's a Marxist film critic right now, a most revolutionary position to hold.

u/SpeakLikeAChild04 Apr 10 '16

How does he feel about film producers controlling the means of production?
