    Let’s not: https://crimethinc.com/2019/04/08/against-the-logic-of-the-guillotine-why-the-paris-commune-burned-the-guillotine-and-we-should-too

    Death in a guillotine saying "I don't care who is in change, as long as you slake my thirst for blood."

    “It is impossible to make the revolution with the guillotine alone. Revenge is the antechamber of power. Anyone who wants to avenge themselves requires a leader. A leader to take them to victory and restore wounded justice.”
    -Alfredo Bonanno, Armed Joy

    Precisely because it is sometimes necessary to employ force in our conflicts with the defenders of the prevailing order, it is especially important that we never lose sight of our aspirations, our compassion, and our optimism. When we are compelled to use coercive force, the only possible justification is that it is a necessary step towards creating a better world for everyone—including our enemies, or at least their children. Otherwise, we risk becoming the next Jacobins, the next defilers of the revolution.

    Idk I don’t want to conflate LGBTQ+ with retribution against the rich because a lot of queer people are also rich, not saying the majority but many are. But I’m also not opposed to seeing their heads in baskets- billionaires that is, not sorry Taylor Swift
