Things aren't so simple are they? No mysterious figure is going to accept your life as collateral on the entire human condition.

Maybe we should consider instead how to bring about change through our lives rather than by ending them. Just a thought.
Yeah, I didn't say it would actually be possible. I was just saying that if it was, I would do it. It was a hypothetical question, and I answered hypothetically. I would also give my life up if that would somehow prevent a giant comet from hitting the earth, but I don't pretend like it's really that easy. We need practical solutions for asteroid deflection and we need practical solutions for the abolition of capitalism. Luckily there are people working on that. http://www.iww.org/
