Let me come up with an arbitrary social philosophy- lets call it 'whoopism', authored by Ringo Farx. Under the philosophy of whoopism, I am to somehow take every poor peasant a rich person who does not have to work.
Now, let me dress 'whoopism' in all sorts of fancy garb and sell a few brilliant dumb-assed intellectuals on it- Just like Marxism or Objectivism. Lets make sure a few idiots get in an uproar and ban the 'whoopist manifesto' just to increase its allure.
Then lets expose charismatic sociopaths living in very oppressed two-classed societies to the works of Ringo Farx and what do they see? The ULTIMATE weapon by which they can enslave everyone and bind them to their will. Because all of those poor back-broken oppressed peasants will kill whoever you point them at if they really believe in 'whoopism'. Even better, it won't take a gun- just a half decent command of pseudo philosophy and a few copies of the works of Ringo Farx. Fast forward a few years and a measurable percentage of the world is rotting in graves. The rich are enslaved, and so are the peasnts. The only people living the 'whoopist dream' are the murderous sociopaths...
In the end, who is responsible for the murders? I blame the sociopaths.
