    I missed the killing the rich people bit. Much of my family is wealthy. Most of their friends are decent folks who were born or got lucky. I don’t think they should be killed.

    Violent revolutions never work out the way participants want them to. The Iranian revolution was supposed to overthrow the Shah not make a theocratic autocracy but that’s what happened. People who think it will work this time need to remember Iran, Cambodia, or many of the more recent revolutionary movements where everything went badly for all.
