Is a Message of Class Warfare a Good Idea for Democrats

This thread began with me pushing back against NBK when he was talking about seizure of all assets above $200k and bringing out the guillotines.

This is a fundamental misstatement of what started this.

Drawing a line and labeling anyone over it as the enemy is, in theory, a good thing by encouraging a mindset of class warfare. We can debate over whether $200K is a good line.

You chose to interpret “class warfare” as “seizure of all assets”. I meant we should encourage non-rich people to hate rich people, which has been my consistent message on this forum since it started. I think all this talk about rent-seeking and landlords is too abstract to be the best ammo for crafting that narrative of hate.

Also, you mentioned guillotines first in this current discussion (this thread plus the transition thread).
