That's only true if you stop, and pretend the killings won't have any ripple effects. I just finished explaining what happened in the 1960s when the government slaughtered key members of the countercultural movement all over the country. It stopped it in its tracks. Those key members were not replaced. Historical proof.

Or take al qaeda, ISIS, the IRA, the Batista regime in Cuba, etc. Whether it's a small group or a whole government, removing key people reduces hierarchy. But you have to keep it up until you see results.
