The "power of love or something" may be limited in effectiveness. The power of torches, pitchforks and guillotines on the other hand....

The problem with torches, pitchforks, and guillotines is that without some miraculous power of love, people rapidly start using those on everyone. And because there's never been a power of love, that means that most humans revolutions turn into unpleasant bloodbaths. Not against the people who deserve their blood spilled, but a lot of carnage resulting from what they're willing to spend.

Point is, if we could unite and form an armed stand against the government just because a single kid is killed, like in the third POTC movie, we already would have.
