You'll have to ask a tougher question like "If there is a cat trapped in a house with a button that kills 8 billion people when pressed and the only way to avoid the cat stepping on the button is to let it outside, would you do it?"
Schrodinger's nuke threat
Oh shit oh no
why yes, hello fellow leftists, we sure love killing random people for no reason and we are definitely the aggressors 
Stalin killed at least twice that many people, so it's a loss that I'm willing to take
I am become Stalin, destroyer of worlds
I am become Stalin, ~~destroyer~~ devourer of ~~worlds~~ grains
Oh god
It's the spoon
Nooo
No, also fuck off
I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE MALTHUS
GET OFF THE INTERNET AND STOP TRYING TO CONVINCE PEOPLE TO COMMIT OMNICIDE
Absolutely not, why would you even ask such a ridiculous question
Take your two day old account and fuck all the way off
I don't think there's that many fascists...
This is just posadism but the button is magic instead of the nuke button.
Yes. I would push the button. Communism is when you kill lots of people.
Can I kill one person 8 billion times instead?
Dreaming of Kissinger being thrown down a mine shaft and respawning at the top for eternity.
If there's any contemporary figure who has earned not just hell, but Super Greek Hell, it's that one.

for future useThats all humans lmao
What a stupid question
I think there's enough more than 8 billion humans that a stable population could recover. It'd take a while though.
Woah I thought the world population was still around 7.something billion. Crazy.

Effective Altruism, amirite? First, you must merely comit the greatest act of evil possible... after which, utopia awaits for infinite future hypothetical people!
It doesn't have to be 8 billion at once right? We can keep deleting 8 billion fascists for centuries with that button, after which we will have communism
No lol
I'd press it if it killed 
8 billion times back to back.
Not a goddamn chance. Killing that many people all at once essentially wipes out humanity.
70 million people would still be alive.
Carl Marks killed like 100 trillion people with only his piss and that still wasn't enough to bring about communism so I don't know why your plan would work
Yes, but not for the communism
But for the lulz
Only if you promise I'll be one of the 8 billion.
Fuck it, why not 9 billion? 
Make it anarchism and I’ll push it twice.
If it was a button press I don't think there would be any sort of the saving the state for transition so in this scenario, I'd assume it would just be some sort of tiny pockets of anarchist societies for whoever remains.
Ofc not, why the fuck would anyone do that
You would kill billions of people just to make the rest conform to your ideals? Congratulations, you've graduated from communist school and will receive your diploma in the mail shortly.
Notice how the majority of replies are just "no" or something that obviously shows that the question is not taken seriously?
(Yes I get that you may be doing a bit, but I'm kinda bored)
Piss off with your bs, everyone's saying no or treating the question like the joke that it is (unless this is sarcasm, in that case sorry)
good bit, you gottem all cranked up
Nah, we'll win this struggle the hard and right way 
I would not press the button.
