          Unfortunately, they’d probably call in the military in the case of a general strike. At least try to assassinate the leadership.
          Guillotines might result in less and more well directed bloodshed. Though, I don’t disagree entirely. That kind of violence, any kind of mass violence, ends up at least somewhat with spillover and misdirection.

          Hard to say.

            We are all tired and angry, and it would seem violence could provide an amount of catharsis and finality. Yet I think the situation is too dynamic to be sure of a positive outcome. Peaceful but firm methods should be tried first, at least.

        Don’t kill the wealthy. Redistribute their wealth and make them part of the working class.

        It’s a fate worse than death in their eyes.

      Will just result in new draconian laws being drafted and enacted. Watch how fast people lose the right to peaceful assembly if it actually affected the ruling class.
