Any solution that starts with purges is bad.

Purges?
When we taking (this) system?
You talking about the ruling class (defined by its ownership of all things)?
(Either way a purge would be just taking away things they shouldn’t own anyway)

I don’t think purging by political affiliation would directly change modern western systems, so dismantling such system isn’t by color, it’s ruling class vs everyone & everything else.

I’m thinking more about the plurality of Americans that aren’t on board, for whatever stupid reason. Until they are convinced, destroying the system won’t really stick, if it’s even possible.

Wouldn’t stick, but it would still take a century to get as bad is it currently is.

What does that have to do with “starting with purges”?

It’s harder to build something than to destroy it. I’d you destroy a system with nothing to replace it, the rich and powerful will swoop into the power vacuum and gobble up more.

Like what happened in every capitalist crisis in the last 70 years? O.o

One example of the top of my head: the collapse of the USSR.
