I‘m not really in the mood rn to discuss this at length but I see your point. The conclusions you draw arent really logical to me though.
Yes, we should put things in place that make a government obsolete. Thats what the fediverse and FOSS is for.
No, taking out the government instead of reforming/replacing it with something better will only make it worse since the influence of the powerful gives them the advantage.
The guillotines prove my point: there was a pretty famous anarchic movement during the french revolution iirc that got coopted by psychopaths inside the movement which led to it just forming another oppressive entity after. The guillotines that we need are federated replacements for every single service the megacorps and governments out there currently lord over us and then we have the power to take over.
The issue with violence is always psychological. The bullied often dream of violence and rarely does anything happen. If it does it never has the desired effect. I know, I have been there. Since then I started to engage in my local community to counteract this stuff. I‘m one of only a couple people doing this. Most folks dont do shit.
Its the silent majority that needs to move their butts, not a vocal minority screaming for violence. Also, those in power will always send people who start violence to give them reason to use violence against us. Its self defeating.
