      Not really, given the current state of the world, it would most likely accelerate the rise of fascism, war and the further environmental destruction of the planet.

        Yeah you only need to look at post world war 1 Germany to see how that works out. Or post USSR Russia. It’s fascism that rises to the top.

          Pretty much, you know what you’ll lose but not what you’ll get. A societal collapse would lead to a massive power vacuum that could lead both ways, but I’m not optimistic for a good outcome…

      I’d agree if it was just the oppressive system and the power and wealth of those benefitting the most from it collapsing with no ripple effects, but the most vulnerable groups of people will take the brunt of the initial damage long before the billionaires feel it.

      A shitload of innocent people are going to die from the devastation wrought by a few billionaires and the politicians they own. Even more so than today.
