Not the government ... just billionaires

government is the symptom ... billionaires are the underlying cancer

Other way around.

Authority is what protects the billionaires. The whole system is designed to benefit them.

The only way to defeat them is to transition to a classless, stateless society.

They've bought the laws that made it much more so over the past few decades. The laws are where we take it back, and then create laws with no tolerance that prevent aggressive behaviors from having any place in society outside of maybe certain types of military & sports, but even those will need strong controls in place.

The mechanism of law fundamentally favors the powerful, the mechanism if violence to lubricate coordination and smoother roughness is fundamentally antidemocratic, and fundamentally wielded against the most marginal. Both will always produce reinforce and snowball stratification. The medium kind of is the message here.
