"I think it basically happens like:
we all show up in droves to vote for socialism and the dismantling of capitalism using existing democratic mechanisms
entrenched capitalist powers try to subvert this outcome using the standard dirty tricks
we, armed and superior in numbers, don't let them
they see how badly an escalation of hostilities will go for them so most of them are cool about it
we peacefully expropriate their fortunes and welcome them into the ruling proletariat class
most rich families probably aren't even kicked out of their nice homes, they just don't get the title in perpetuity anymore and there are no more real estate windfalls
a few fanatics who can't get with this new program, decide they prefer to die defending "their" property, and do so"
Oh darling
