The examples you give are either defensive (killing the landlords, who were killing peasants) or justice (executing slaveowners who had killed many after the revolution). They didn't kill all the Gusanos, just the ones that had committed heinous violence and were sentenced to death.
That’s exactly what I’m talking about. You kill the ones who have committed heinous violence or will commit heinous violence to regain control.
Does anyone think we should hypothetically leave Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk alive after a successful revolution? No, they would do everything they could to seize power and topple a communist movement.
Once you take power, you literally have to kill everyone who would commit acts of horrible violence against the revolution and the proletariat.
You can't just kill everyone you think might be a threat in the future, Ms. Pol Pot.

So? Take all their shit, and if they respond with violence, then kill them in defense. Alternately, try them for their crimes and execute them if it's warranted. This is usually how things go. You don't kill people before they commit the crime because you're pretty sure they will after.
Apologies, my mistake - I'll edit the post. My point is you need evidence of wrongdoing. You can't kill people you think will do wrong in the future.
I have no problem with killing enemies of the revolution given the right situation, but they actually have to be guilty in a way that warrants execution.

Don’t misgender me.
So yeah, kill them. Go through whatever steps make you feel better.
