    Liberté! égalité! fraternité!

    Leeja Miller notes historically wealth accumulated by the aristocratic elite is never restored back to the public (that is, back to the state general fund, then used to sponsor roads, bridges, libraries, food programs, education, science, etc. which serve the public good) except through violence, e.g. the response of the French public after the États Généraux de 1789 )

    So this, along wirh discussions of the kind of reprisal Luigi Mangioni may not have done, all tracks, considering the escalating clime in the United States.

    It’d sure be nice to find a nonviolent path to restoring creating public-serving government and a system that regards the personhood of absolutely everyone, but we very much cannot take violence off the table, especially when it comes to restoring wealth parity.
