I have two comments:

Firstly I know it might be slower to take more than one go to take a head off but it really builds anticipation for the crowd and especially for the next in line.

Secondly sometimes the traditional method has lasting effects that strike fear and education into the minds of the population and the elites. It would be better to educate the 1% in how many times the heads bounce in the town square when the basket is full than to have unbridled capitalism stealing from the workers.

    I don't want them afraid of being caught-out in public. I want them afraid of being murdered in their beds, in their mcmansions, of having rattlesnakes dumped in the air vents of their bunkers. Catch them when they are trying to flee the country, absolutely, but frankly, most aren't worth the spectacle and resources of a guillotine, or transporting them to such.

    I'm not interested in educating people whose mode of being should not exist. For those worth educating, the deterrent of a guillotine is a comical hassle versus a bullet to the head - there's good reason modern revolutions use the latter.
