I'm not sure where I stand on the death penalty either but I think the executions can be viewed as part of the ongoing class struggle
The point of killing capitalists is the fear that they will re-organize with their connections and remaining power and start a counterrevolution against the people. You can strip a capitalist of all their assets and capital but they will undoubtedly still have wealthy friends and a deep network. Perhaps executing capitalists that the CPC deems has deeply wronged the people is a necessity
That is totally possible, I could see a compelling argument for that. And again, I think it's far preferable to what we have in the West (let the elite run roughshod and shamelessly cater all of our social structures to their needs/allow them to dictate the nature of our social structures). There's simply a lot of context and nuance I really just don't have access to. I am also grateful to be some nobody and not the person who has to make these life or death policy decisions lol
