Human freedom is the most subversive possible weapon that will generate the least possible harm to society at large against the Left. It's just not an easy task, and it won't prevent the Left from occasionally lashing out and killing a thousand people in a fit of rage.
Or millions.
Your "solution" doesn't seem so much like a solution, just a constant battle of attrition. Not sure how that inflicts the least harm.
Either way, when they lash out, it will invite inevitable, justified reprisal.
Don't get me wrong. I'd like you to be correct, but it seems like a path of prolonged suffering more than anything.
Take it from someone who occupied a foreign country without their consent. You need legitimacy to hold power because all power is illusory. If you go for whatever feels good, you will sacrifice your strategic advantage.

It's not a battle of attrition, but it's a perpetual war against power mongers, which is simply the way of things.
Whatever reprisal happens, it will still need to be proportionate in order to be legitimate.
Complete seems to give lasting legitimacy better than proportionate.
You don't see Picts bitching about things, do you?
I don't see the romans bitching either.

Occupation isn't the only option, though. It's probably the worst option, unless you just need human resources that badly.
