Because without the threat of revolution you'll never get those rights in the first place and as soon as the threat is removed the rights you have or won will be rolled back at the earliest convenience
Without revolution the capitalist class will call your bluff each time, and if you get mad at them what're you going to do? You already took revolution off the table
As a result Liberal radicalism can best be described as a snake eating it own ass
