I don't think you understand what "mass murder" means.
But that’s not what it means to the public
I know that. That's why I'm saying something.
Maybe Sean Spicer will take the job back? Someone check the bushes.

I'm saying that the bombing, etc. of Nazi Germany was a justifiable level of force under the circumstances. I'm splitting hairs and making a big deal over the difference between "force" and "violence". I think it's important to know exactly where that line is so as to avoid stepping over it, so I'm not just being intransigent and clinging to a minor point here.
The guillotine symbolizes to me a clear stepping over of the line from justified force to mob violence. And I think we would be better off if everyone shared my opinion.
That's an interesting angle. I had thought the OP was talking about billionaires and oligarchs, a few thousand people tops. But you're talking about an entire political bloc consisting of tens of millions of people.
The cycle will escalate until it is broken. How long it runs before it gets broken might be a useful part in defining "successful revolution": the successful ones break the cycle of violence as early as possible.
That depends on how you define success. It also depends on how you define revolution. If the French Revolution can be defined as ending when Napoleon crowned himself Emperor, then I think that qualifies as a failed revolution.
