Remember that politics can be changed with votes. Tax them to finance change.

I agree the wealthy need to pay a lot more in tax than they currently do.

They also have disproportionate control over the electoral process in many countries, and most political parties are not even considering taxing them to the extent that they need to be taxed. Nor are most political parties challenging our capitalist society in any significant sense.

Voting is important, but don’t expect voting alone to solve our problems.

It’s difficult, but blaming billionaires takes away our agency.

No it does not. Sod off with that. Correctly identifying a major contributor to an issue does not take away agency.

What but voting should solve the problems? You won’t stage a revolution.

How about direct action to make citizens vote in a coordinated way?

But you must have other direct actions in mind. Which ones?
