I disagree with all forms of violence though I will point out that the rich are unnecessarily cruel to the general population.
I used to think that too but at least historicaly, if the problem is the system itself then there are no ways to solve the problem from within the system. see French revolution. The problems of feudalism couldn't have been solved by following the law. I am not calling for violence or anything like that. Just pointing out it hasn't been that simple, just categorically opposing any form of violence, throughout history. If the current system continues on its trajectory, soon there won't be anything legal left for the masses to do. So not "it should happen" but "it will inevitably happen", it being violent revolution.
social democracies are trying to slowly adapt the situation, let's hope it will be enough.
