I understand where you're coming from but I am wary of "guillotine" rhetoric.

The problem is not the individual, which the guillotine will get rid of.

The problem is the individual's power, which might survive the individual, and the system that enables it.

Don't get me wrong, let's definitely eat the rich.
When fighting a violent system violence is and should be on the table.

But IMHO if we focus our rhetoric on the actual problem rather than on bloodlust, we also weaken fascists.

(And yes, fascism is how the rich survive popular discontent...)
