I agree with the problem and how "prosecute and jail anyone who they perceived as having power/privilege than another" is inevitable, but a few problems with that:

1- A ban of media/fiction that doesn't feature relationships between two perfect equals won't happen, because again, due to their critical privilege theory, it is impossible for two people to be perfect equals. If there's even one minor difference between the two people, that difference is enough to make one person the oppressor and the other the oppressed and put them into the same boat...and in many cases, they'll use that to fight over which one is the oppressor and which the oppressed (if you had two fat black trans lesbians who are physically/mentally disabled [both self-dxed] and have multiple kins, and persxn A is one pound heavier than persxn B, then persxn A would say "I am one pound heavier than you, therefore you have thin privilege over me and I'M the oppressed one!", while persxn B would say "well, you're only heavier because your clothes are heavier than mine, meaning you can afford better quality clothing than I do, meaning you're WEALTHIER than I am, meaning you've got class privilege over me and I'M the oppressed one!")

2- On the one hand, if they did take control, this leads to a likeliness totalitarian/toxic Communism won't happen, simply because of Oppression Olympics leading to everyone believing THEY are the most oppressed person in the whole world (and thus, the only person who should be allowed to rule to make things right.) Because of that, a revolution is unlikely to happen since it's much more likely we get "Civil War II is Battle Royale Mode- every person fights everyone else to the last human standing, and they'll attack the mirror."

Indeed, the biggest reason the Woke has failed to fix problems while the legit Fascists are succeeding on the right is because the Fascists will work together for their goals and don't really care who gets the credit for doing it as long as they get what they're fighting for...but to the Woke, the credit is all they really want. They're basically little kids playing Harry Potter at recess, and they're secretly perfectly willing to let the world go to hell until such time as they've jockeyed into position as the hero who gets the credit for destroying it...and more specifically, if they DON'T get to be that hero, they're happy to fight to keep the world in hell just to spite everyone else. (Shit, Trump came to power in large part due to the Bernie bros who made it clear to Hillary supporters "if I can't have OUR way, I won't let you have YOUR WAY EITHER!", and Biden won in large part because the Democrats who supported otherwise were willing to say "...fine, it's more important Trump is out of power we GUESS we'll let you have your way for now.")

3- That's also the bigger worry about the radical woke progressives overtaking the mainstream: People just get more conservative as they grow older. These kids are angsty teens who believe they're the center of the universe now, but when they come of age and take office, in all likeliness they'll get more centrist or even become right-wingers. This is something to be afraid of, because the real ones know the issue isn't Republican vs. Democrat or even Fascist vs. Communist, but rather Authoritarianism vs. Anarchy...and even if leftists get more conservative with age, authoritarian people don't usually get more libertarian as they age, they will just get more centrist or right wing but still believe authoritarianism is the key.
