Nah, it is. Seize all their assets and if they complain, again, some Pinochet-style methods that will bend them to our knees.
Sorry, patience is over and right-wingers and their financiers must be dealt with the appropriate way.
Again, not that simple. Read The State and Revolution.
Sorry, tired of world going to shit and if we need someone that makes Stalin look like a kitten to fix it, so be it.
That will not fix it. You're advocating for adventurism, not leftism.
Adventurist leftism, maybe?
No, adventurism.
Whatever that poster planned to implement their beliefs would probably devolve into adventurism but, taken at face value, I think it would be much more accurate to call their proposal blanquist.
You and what army?
This is what I would do if I were in power.

I'd do it differently.
I would fund a massive advertising campaign preaching equality, fairness, and cooperation
I would use the tax system to weaken the cycle of intergenerational wealth (the ultra wealthy spend borrowed money which is settled by their estate on death; I would tax bequests to banks; I would tax inheritances above a pretty high limit.
It would take time. The aim would be to have a much more level wealth distribution
Nah, fuck that. Dictatorship, right-wingers get treated Pinochet-style (eye for an eye) and if rich lobbyists try to make a mess, take their families as hostages. Fuck good manners.
Seize who's assets exactly? The second you draw a line and say anyone on the other side has fewer rights than you, you're falling right in line with those same right-wing policies.
There is no way to define a law against "right-wingers" that doesn't infringe on basic rights like freedom of opinion and freedom from discrimination. You can't punish people for being part of a group. You need to point to something specific that each individual has done that is illegal before prosecuting. Anything less and society will break down into fascism.
Rich people's
Nah, just do it against rich people.
Fuck this fake democracy then.
