Agreed. Anyone who thinks democracy isn't punctuated by economically-redistributive violence hasn't been studying history.

Based in the simple fact that humans will not cede power/wealth willingly once they gain it.

Ergo, violence (either state or individual) to effect a new balance.

Which isn't to legitimize violence, but is to say that stripping away a population's ability to effect change by being violent, if enough of them choose, is more dystopian than some violence.

Fix the issue: don't complain about the symptoms.
