      It is true: “Every utopia starts with the horrible story about how it came from a dystopia.” Or something along those lines.

          The trick is it should never be removed: There will ALWAYS be greedy fucks that don’t care about others.

            Yeah. They definitely got a little guillotine-happy towards the end there. They should have just put it away in the back room, and taken it out on parade for special occasions. As a reminder.

              Make it so any position of power has a functioning guillotine right over their desk

                They might get the picture if you rigged a haphazardly trained Ai camera to it:

                “Hey any excessive scratching under the desk might be perceived as under the table bribes or other corruption behavior and release the guillotine. You’ve been warned.”
