And we will not stop there."Indeed, Sawant did not stop there with her threat to Bezos and his "class." She pledged to take down capitalism globally and replace it with socialism, saying:You see, we are fighting for far more than this tax.

We cannot and will not stop until we overthrow it, and replace it with a world based, instead, on solidarity, genuine democracy, and equality: a socialist world.
