Can you also justify murder with that or only destruction of property?

  Many times revolutions have been murderous for that very reason. I think many Americans agree with the bloodshed of the American revolution.

  You absolutely can - the basic argument for jobs is essentially "you can't reap the gains of society, if you aren't willing to contribute to it [in the form of doing your job]" - the underpinning argument being that there are jobs you can do. If there aren't any (paid) jobs, then you're stuck in a situation where people are taking away your rights to the gains of society, for their own benefit. At which point, you need to fix the system - either make it so that jobs aren't necessary to get the gains (i.e. the money), or create "jobs" that aren't strictly necessary, or, if you cannot fix the system, rip it down with violent revolution and make sure the replacement system isn't broken in the same way as the predecessor. Basically, it's outrage against a double-abstraction suckerpunch - either there's too much work or there's not enough work, you can't have both.
