We could also just kill the rich. It may not be the ideal solution but it is definitely a potential solution. I think we negotiate from a weaker position when we act like that isn’t an option. Taxation, wealth redistribution, and caps on political donations should be seen as the preferable option to public beheadings, which is how the masses used to settle these kinds of grievances when pushed far enough. I say we frame it that way instead of “please don’t do mean stuff anymore Mr. CEO”, which is what they hear when we talk about more civilized solutions.
We are already past your ideal solution as death is already involved, the rich have been killing working class folks for a long ass time and I don’t believe we should forget that.
The permenant fix is to have a society where no human has power over another. That idea is the basis for Anarchist idiology, which, contrary to the literal definition of the word, doesn’t always mean “no government/governance”. Just because modern history (outside of Native Americans and tribal societies) didn’t have an example to follow doesn’t mean we can’t try new things.

Wdym its not an ideal solution? I think its the best way to quickly fix most of our issues.
I think it’s fair to say that the ideal solution doesn’t involve death at all. It is a simple solution though.

If we kill the rich, then new ones will rise out of their ashes. That is a temporary solution that wouldn’t actually fix the real rot in the system.
There is no permanent fix. Those with wealth and power inevitably seek more of it. All of history is an endless cycle of that kind of behavior.
