Billionaires should not exist. They should be taxed out of existence.
Seriously. If they want to keep their money, they should be forced to invest it in companies that generate jobs.
Isn’t that exactly where most billionaire’s wealth typically is? A lot is in stock of some company they started or invested in.
You can’t gobble up the excess value created by workers if there are no workers.
...unless you gobble up your rivals instead, creating a monopoly, shrinking the job pool through consolidation, sweating the remaining employees that are competing for the vanishing opportunities to keep a roof over their heads, causing market failure and generally fucking everyone over.
This is the strategy adopted by the likes of Bezos, Zuckerberg, the Waltons, and arguably the majority of the biggest drains on our society. Billionaires

Against the Logic of the Guillotine Why the Paris Commune Burned the Guillotine—and We Should Too
For me the main point is: If you are able to execute your enemies publicly on the guillotine, you have already won and actually have better(more in line with your ideals) ways to deal with ex billionaires.
I agree. Launching them into orbit and shoving them out the airlock would garner a much greater sense of poetic justice.
Or maybe, if you actually think they should be killed, do it now? Like why wait for some situation like you described that might never happen.
I agree, but this is an image, not a guillotine. Maybe you could argue the image of a guillotine could lead to similar methods being used if a revolution happens, but I don't know if that's worth discussing in depth. As a tool to transport a message, I think a guillotine is valid. As a method of murder, probably not.
But the message the guillotine is transporting is "lets start murdering".

Garbage, low effort, polarising post that does nothing to further the actually important antiwork movement.
