Compromise needs two parties, and it depends on perspective. If we put people who organize coups, murderous cops and their enablers, or corporate ghouls imploding our planet while making common people miserable into prison for decades to life, it could be a compromise between not doing that and mobs indiscriminately killing everyone with any kind of authority.

There are two big problems with violent political measures, one is that if they start, they are very hard to stop, one coup may be followed by three more in the same year, and that the democratic system being made ever weaker by corruption out in the open makes it inevitable.
