    I don’t support random killing of oligarchs.

    What about systematic killing of oligarchs?

      I generally oppose capital punishment, with possible exceptions for high treason (in times of war) or enabling mass deaths for personal benefits (no playing dumb).

      My point is that full asset seizure and real multi-decade challenging community service work is a much better long term option.

        You have to have a legal system willing to punish billionaires, not one beholden to them, for your point to work.

        That doesn’t exist in the US, so it’s a moot point.
