I am a very hopeful for a disastrous worldwide class war, hopefully involving nuclear and biological weapons. Please discuss class war in this thread.

Biological and nuclear weapons? Wouldn't the upper class inevitably win then?

Isn't the general idea of a class war that the majority of people finally realize that ownership is arbitrary and decide it's in their own best interests to "kill the rich and take their stuff"?

Because technology has greatly increased since Marx's time, a physical war would be put down quickly, the only class war that could be waged now a days would be political.

Yep. I thank the internet for enlightening millions of people that didn't score in the genetic lottery when they were born.

Most of humanity is still far from rational enough and ethically stable enough to carry out anarchy, but we're better off than 10 years ago, 20 years ago, or 100.

Weeeeeeeell, Seems to me like the poor side would have larger numbers, and possibly a stronger morale because if they win their quality of life increases greatly. The rich would have all the weapons though. Thats a horrible scenario though, quite morbid! hahahahahah intresting though.
