The issue with revolutions is that while they tend to get rid of old elites, they create a new class of elites out of the top revolutionaries and the cycle just starts over again. Many communist revolutions were supposed to create these theoretically “equal” societies, but they just insert in a new ruling class.
Theoretically, by wiping out the rich would create instability within the wealthy class, they wouldn’t have the time or the means to herd the politicians to serve them or to effectively disrupt democracy.
The inheritance that kid collects would amounts to “Congratulation, you won the lottery, now what? You haven’t own any corporation yet, know of anything about how to make connections with other politicians and wealthy class of people and so forth. You’re pretty much on your own.”
Like 70% of the time, those people wouldn’t even bother with politic and would just spend the money vacationing where-ever in the world and having fun with the newfound wealth, not busy trying to disrupt democracy. People tend to be very shortsighted when they amasses huge wealth, in fact, according to some statistic, it ranges from 44% to 70% of people who gain huge amount of money end up losing it all within the next 5 years.
That amount of time would basically give the common people enough time to go about fixing the political system.

Common people get fixated by the idea of someone else fixing their problems. It’s why America had Trump for President for 4 years. He was going to “fix” America’s problems.
You cannot defeat ape behavior. We are apes. We created civilization as a system to manage resources for large numbers of people that our hunter gatherer societies could not. Civilization by its nature creates a system of elites, because you need people at the top to manage resources.
If we want true equality and still stay true to our ape programming, we would be better served by a return to small interconnected communes.
Well I disagree with you vehemently, about 90% of the problems we’re facing is that almost every single problem we’re trying to address were sabotaged by the rich. Wall Street protest, Mass Media making dishonest and hostile takes to disrupt any attempt we make to have a dialogue on addressing the problem at hand, and so many more. We can cooperate and come up with a better future, it is something that we have to make an effort to.

Why did they become rich in the first place and why do they not want to give up what they have?
Ape behavior. People in general loathe to give up resources and power once they have it.

Sure. But I don’t think that’s going to happen. Climate change is going to make mincement out of most of us before we even begin to scarcely acknowledge the problem.
Do you know anything about the specific events that led up to the comintern’s degeneration or are you parroting liberal talking points?
I don’t.
But ever since the rise of civilization (and the end of the most hunter gatherer societies), it is impossible to prevent the rise of a ruling class. Violent revolutions bring about some change but it’s never going to change ape behavior or destroy the core of civilization, which is a class system. True equality will come only from people choosing not to participate in the system of civilization and making do in small communes.

Yeah but what are the other possibilities? Let them become kings?
