I was joking in response to OP's joke about guillotining everybody who had been a landlord? Even in China, where I think it was 4 million landlords got killed during the land reform movement, there wasn't an intentional policy of just reprisal killing entire classes. (No really, read the history of the land reform movement, it was absurdly violent but even then it wasn't "let's guillotine every single landlord") It's a silly concept and I'm surprised it needs to be explained that murdering entire classes at a time isn't actually the point of revolutionary violence, but hey, it's Lemmy!
