    See, I'm pretty sure it would just take one to kick off a wave of them once everyone's reminded that being rich isn't the same as being immortal, but that's "bourgeois adventurism" or whatever. Because, obviously, you can't stop a never ending carnival of abject horror with the targeted redaction of a dozen or so individuals. That would imply that such a deed might have some kind of propaganda value, which is obviously absurd. :anarchist-occult:

      While I'm opposed to Stochastic violence (and honestly not a huge fan of killing anyone we don't have to, which is going to be a long list as it is) I sometimes think the Anarchist assassinations and some of the RSDLP expropriation tactics really did weaken the system over decades, despite the short term PR issues.

      Like if you can rob banks, or kill major politicians, then the state can't protect its own ruling class.
