Every healthy economy has a robust guillotine maintenance capability.

the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

Unfortunately Mao was an idiot surrounded by sycophants who killed more of his countrymen through incompetent policies than Stalin did with his purges.

People always say Mao killed so many people, but when pressed for how they just say "famine". If that's the standard, how many people does world capitalism kill? Don't let perfect be the enemy of good🤷‍♂️

Eat the rich? They sure are making everything else too expensive.

Beat inflation at the grocery store (and everywhere else) with this one simple trick. Capitalists hate it!

Did you know, chimps don't have remote killing drones, armored vehicles, or nuclear weapons.

Well human do, and its usually not the average person that have posession of those things.

In addition to what MattsAlt said, the people in possession of those things still rely on you and me to meet all their wants and needs. So a crucial first step before they become edible is for us to stop meeting their wants and needs. Exactly who "possesses" what starts to become a little more ambiguous when that happens.

Average military pay is like 2100/month so I guess if the dudes in charge of the nukes/drones/tanks decide to stop getting cucked by business interests it would probably be fine.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Or decide not to kill their relatives. Like in previous revolutions ;)

This is honestly the reason why I don't think we can achieve a successful uprising anymore. Probably not a nuke, but drones definitely could and would be used to tear through even the largest of mobs if they formed today. Marie Antoinette would be happily eating her cake watching her people get mowed down by autonomous turrets if the French revolution happened today.

IMO we are probably on the brink of the last possible society that can on a technical level. I would say, nukes, and even drone bombs etc.... are unlikely to be utilized, simply due to collateral damage, infrastructure damage etc....

However, things like the boston dynamics spot etc... We're probably a decade away from when 1 person can control an army of perfectly loyal soldiers.

It's alright, given the current performance of Blue Origin it'll take him a decade or two to get the missile working.
