Let's assume this escalates to violence (even though I don't think it will). Even with a 1 to 1 ratio of corpses, I don't think the working class will be on the losing end. Who will rebuild? Those feasting on the corpses of the rich, of course. The working class.

You seem to think the working class is harmed more than the upper classes by these protests. That is not the case.
Okay. No. You don't know anything about ground conflicts in human history if you are under the impression that the violence is felt by the rich and privileged. Who fought the civil war? Aristocrats and abolitionists only? No, it was poor farmers and men who worked for a living. On both sides. Where people die. For a cause they likely aren't personally vested in. See: any conflict in human history.
If you truely think that the rich and powerful wouldn't have their own Loyalist base in a civil war style conflict brought about by neocon and neoliberal extremism; then you're severely disconnected from reality. Basically; keep it at rhetoric and stop advocating 'If the machine becomes so odious, you throw yourself on the gears until it stops working.' as it leads to innocent people dying for a fool's cause.
I'd just like to mention that the people who profit off of a conflict in any area in any time of human history; are those who are already holding the financial and political strings to be able to profiteer off of armed conflict. Aka 'the 1%.' Go look up our current military industrial complex and the intricacies therein if you don't understand how that works.
We have a democracy, we can vote, and our votes tangentially matter; not in the national election but there's a big chunk of our government called
congress which is the closest thing to direct representatives we can field. And guess what? They're having votes to change [1/3rds of] the people in those positions this season; so go fucking vote and do something about it.
Note: this all ignores the economic impact of The Great Stupid War
tm and what it'd do to annihilate any semblance of 1st world living as we know it. I'm just annoyed you're advocating people go die for this retarded thinking.
