Oppression is bad...

...Unless that oppression is done by the vanguard to protect the revolution. Then the oppression is ok.

Yeah, the people saying that the guillotine crowd just want to stop oppression are either the stupidest, most ignorant people imaginable or they're just lying.

The sweet spot is for the current ruling class to obey a set of rules out of fear of the guillotine or incarceration.

Exercising the guillotine or incarceration excessively would just be starting over to build the necessary fear with a new ignorant crop of ruling class.
