Once the violence starts, it won’t stay focused on what “you” want. That’s the problem.
Conservatives are snatching up every lower post they can, and democrats and progressives need to be doing the same. By solidifying bottom up representation, you have increasing influence over higher decisions. The left kneecaps itself and needs to stop. Fantasy about guillotines is a distraction.
You being privileged enough to not be personally impacted by it (yet, or enough to be willing to give up that privilege) doesn’t mean the violence isn’t already here, being inflicted on billions of people, costing millions of lives, all to enrich a tiny percent of the population that already has almost all of the power and resources, meanwhile you’re happy to sit there and criticise those who react to this oppression in self defence.
Once the first billionaire is killed the rest will go everywhere with a phalanx of SMG toting body armor wearing security. They will push through laws extending the same qualified immunity that we hate with police to armed bodyguards and the politicians will roll over and let them because once killing the rich starts, they know they arent far down the list.

What you are, is part of the problem.
You’re assuming a whole lot here. I’m not discounting the existing injustices, I’m saying vigilante justice spirals out. They are separate topics.

Indeed, this is one of the spirals I’m referring to, but not the only variety
