Solution to the problem: ban right-wingers, impose socialism and if rich people get too noisy send secret services to deal with them Pinochet-style. Bam, capitalism defeated in a few years.
Not that simple.
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.
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.
