The extremely wealthy keep talking about how to tackle inequality, many of them pledge to do something about it but nothing ever happens.

We all know how this plays out, we'll get lip service until we start to kill the rich. Then they'll apologize, reform, and do it a little more subtly next time.

Killing the rich and seizing their property always turns out well for the everyday joe and never creates a generation of ultra wealthy and corrupt ruling class /s

Wait you didn’t think YOU were going to get that stuff did you?

People who cry loudest for revolution are usually the ones who don't ever study the history of successful revolutions. Especially: who the actual revolutionaries were, what positions they held in society before and after the revolution (hint: most successful revolutions aren't peasant uprisings), and what happens to people who weren't either the revolutionary leaders or the ruling class before, during, and after the revolution. The average French peasant did not fare well during or after the French Revolution.

And you can pick 2 dozen African "revolutions" that left everyone way worse off than a small elite.

Sell people the idea you will strip the rich of everything and give it to them (requires a fundamental removal of freedom)... Take power... Profit.
