I totally agree with your assessment; but, snuffing them out would not solve the problem.
This is a spiritual war, and a war of ideas. We need to snuff the idea that a collective ruled by self-appointed elite, with absolutely NO INCENTIVES for the vast majority to contribute their wealth or personal efforts to economic matters, is in any way a worthwhile economic system, an acceptable way of life or a defensible intellectual position.
That being said, We will always need our military power to defend ourselves and kill our enemies. I am simply arguing that military force cannot eradicate ideas ... at least not military force applied by a freedom-loving people.

According to a poll from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, 64 percent of Democratic voters would rather see “a giant meteor strike the Earth, extinguishing all human life” than President Trump re-elected. The poll, conducted Jan. 28–31, also shows about half of Independent voters would say the same extreme thing.

Yeah, we can reason with these people.
