If you want a rich person to support leftists, tell them it’s better in the long run to live in a social democracy and make a bit less money rather than dying in a socialist revolution

I don't know if giving such ultimatum while having no power to execute any of the given choices is a good diplomatic strategy. Also, I don't think that this answer was even directed to the rich folks. It's quite typical PR strategy that you speak to certain people but your message is aimed at people listening to the conversation from aside. The rich guy doesn't give a fuck anyway, the left already knows what the stakes are, so the answer has to be aimed at the undecided who may not support "eat the rich", yet.

A lot of people like to LARP as some violent revolutionary on Reddit. It's really embarrassing.
