Attack on the power-elite

There is a perceivable similarity in the way Nietzsche, the Sun Tzu and Machiavelli's The Prince handle the relationship between wars and the elite. Nietzsche calls for the masters to live dangerously and not care for the principle of will to live. This would lead them eventually to their demise. So it might be possible that he wanted the master to be vanquished by their own hand. The same can be seen in works mentioned above as well. Perhaps Marx should be in the list as well...His method was not a subtle attack at any point perhaps other than the second part of his work. Perhaps such demagogue's position was meant as a provocation of reaction against him.
His thought process yielded a huge power over the minds of many. In that it worked quite like religions do. He is certainly one of the powerful men of history. What more?
In the advocation of revolution as the only method of social end for capitalism he becomes the sales manager for the weapons industry. It is the military industrial complex that cannot be dislodged with any fighting, that would clearly just prolong the historical process burdened and enthralled by violence, aggression, and hence this cannot be a road towards communism.  In support of this here is how communism developed in Russia:
         To overcome our enemies we must have our own socialist militarism.
September 1918, Grigory Zinoviev
Perpetual war as a function of the state to coerce its citizens continues. This keeps the power elite in power over the means of destruction.

Overcoming the immortal industry of death
An attack is not enough. It would just keep things running in the same channel. Psychological usurpation is necessary. Public relations actions have been used before in overcoming a war. Protests can be carried out in many ways.
Communal enterprises could lead the way. Any attacks would just propagate the historical class struggle in many new forms.  It would become meaner, taking less lives but putting ever more people at the owner class' mercy.
