More importantly, executions are spectacle that can and will distract the masses from the real issues. Killing the Marie Antoinettes of the world does fuckall.
In this case specifically, people like Mark Ruffalo aren't the problem. He's not getting rich off of stealing the workers' surplus value, his labor is just horrendously overpaid in an unjust system. He's a lib and he definitely won't lead the revolution, but he's not the enemy and calling for his head when he says something that really isn't bad at all is just mindless bloodthirst. Really not a fan of this reaction.
My other worry is that once institutions and people get used to killing people it can be hard to get them to stop. Beyond the obvious fact that sheer bloodthirstiness is disturbing and fedposting
A state is inherently violent but an established state manages to keep that violence largely implicit rather than explicit and after a revolution is always an unstable time whereby destabalising action of the new state is I would argue counter revolutionary
