But reforms always get rolled back after the left stops watching. Ultimately, the rulers will have to be removed via revolution, a process that requires violence.

Like many, you have left an actual solution out of your proposal. It is one thing to dethrone kings and decapitate politicians, but it is an entirely different thing to replace a faulty system with a more functional one. Part of the problem today is that people can seldom agree what "Good" even is, or what "Progress" even is.
So after consuming tremendous quantities of lives and tremendous quantities of life sustaining resources, how would you create a system in the United States that allows us each more access to peace and liberty and joy than we have now? Keeping in mind the fact that the rest of the globe may still exist unchanged during this revolutionary period.
So perhaps draw out two scenarios:
1. USA has a second violent civil war, and the rebels this time are victors, what system would you replace ours with?
2. USA has a second violent civil war, and most of the developed world has a similar civil war. what system would you replace ours with? How would you avoid Dark Ages 2.0?
