Every time we chat, and the discussion turns towards capitalism, she’s the one who without any hesitation just says we should kill them all. Now, though, it’s gone further to torture. And she names names. In addition to people like Bezos and Musk, she includes Ben Shapiro, Andrew Tate and others.

I say we should force them to work and maybe learn the error of their ways (After the revolution of course. During it many of these fucks will die and I’ll be glad).

Her current jobs is extremely horrible. She’s being massively overworked, verbally abused and, of course, underpaid. So I get her frustration. But it’s also scary. I don’t want her to get in any trouble.

I don’t know if I should be gently turning her away from imagining a slow and painful torture of capitalists or not. Am I being a lib or is she too extreme?

    The landlords were killed or driven out by the peasantry for pragmatic reasons (so many people over so much land), but that doesn't represent all of the feudal order. Afaik what remained of the aristocracy, along with many people from the KMT and even some of the Japanese colonial soldiers were reeducated. The CPC took pride in rehabilitating reactionaries where it was viable, though they had no compunctions about consigning them to death where that simply made more sense.

      I'm told that in some places where the local lord had genuinely tried to support and aid their peasants the peasants shielded them from violence and they survived the purge. I think that's an important note: The violence wasn't mindless destruction for it's own sake, and there is complexity even in a situation where death was the general rule.
