Because its relevant

Against the Logic of the Guillotine Why the Paris Commune Burned the Guillotine—and We Should Too

For me the main point is: If you are able to execute your enemies publicly on the guillotine, you have already won and actually have better(more in line with your ideals) ways to deal with ex billionaires.

I agree. Launching them into orbit and shoving them out the airlock would garner a much greater sense of poetic justice.

Or maybe, if you actually think they should be killed, do it now? Like why wait for some situation like you described that might never happen.

I agree, but this is an image, not a guillotine. Maybe you could argue the image of a guillotine could lead to similar methods being used if a revolution happens, but I don't know if that's worth discussing in depth. As a tool to transport a message, I think a guillotine is valid. As a method of murder, probably not.

But the message the guillotine is transporting is "lets start murdering".
