The problem is that the rich hold nearly all the levers of power so trying to do anything "carefully" is just going to get redirected into more power for the rich.
And this idea is why the dem has done nothing productive the last 50+ years. Even when Obama had a super majority they could only just pass a health care reform authored by John McCain..... Let that sink in...
Also eat the rich means tax the f. out of them, they owe a lot of back taxes.... And use that money to pay for social reforms.....
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good though. Eating the rich will not make people without food suddenly more hungry. How about we think of it differently. "Will eating the rich instantly and negatively impact the poor?"
I think as long as the rich has proven beyond that they are willing to use lethal force to stop us from feeding the poor they aren't giving us much choice...
If you tear down the system without a thought to what might replace it we get a revolution like Iran had in 1979. We should build toward what we want rather than away from what we don't want.
The poor only starve because of the rich. We have long solved hunger , we could easily and cheaply ensure the world is fed and reserves are made for emergencies . But we don’t because then rich fucks couldn’t make money from ever increasing prices and gouging countries when disasters happen. You can’t free the prisoners from the death camps if the guards are still alive.
Really fucking tired of this holier than thou bullshit. It never fed anyone or saved them from bombs . Sure as fuck enabled those that starve and bomb though .

We can do both you know...

Time for pussies who talk this are done. We can feed the poor later.
Hunger makes us more vicious in battle anyway.

Overton window is only useful for defenestration.

We use the rich to make a fertilizer base for better growth and distribution of foods at reasonable cost.

Feeding the rich *to* the poor would seem to address both halves of the conundrum.

"you're not qualified to eat the rich. You're going to kill TV stars and dentists, and the real rich will just laugh"
pocsaclypse
fortunately there is plenty we can just burn down after a long day of careful disassembly as a treat, balance in all things
JohnWickdidnothingwrong
Careful disassembly requires killing it first.
Burning it down does not.
Not arguing for, just noting.

My desire is equal for both.

We’ve been trying to do it carefully for years now and it keeps getting worse. Sometimes you have to raze it to the ground and start fresh.
LadyCritCat
For the record, I do agree with the final point, just not the first.
