There have been riots in every era. I don't think nationwide rioting like what we're seeing now is anywhere close to an annual thing. You'd have to go bat pretty far to find them more widespread than now.

Politics is a functional alternative to violence. When people resort to violence, it’s a sign that the system is failing, and may break.
See Spain and Germany In the 30s.
Or Soviet Russia.
Both Communism and Facism are the logical endpoints of a State which exists because it has granted itself an unimpeded monopoly on coercive violence.
Contrary to what most of us were taught in government school, Fascism and Communism are on the same side of the ideological spectrum.
