To be fair even the revolutionaries in China in the 1940s didn’t just kill all the landlords. In fact many of them capitulated and sided with the revolutionaries and were given an equal share in the land redistribution thereafter. We have to remember not to be so bloodthirsty even if the conditions are different here. When the chips fall if there were a powerful left force here in the imperial core there would probably be a similar phenomenon.
Being surrounded by a bunch of communists with guns can be very persuasive.
They didn’t kill all but still a lot, and you have to consider that all of this happened at the end of a long, bloody war. Furthermore, a lot of those landlords didn’t give up but formed the Homecoming Legion to conduct guerilla warfare even after the war had ended.
I just cannot see capitalists giving up their supremacy without either facing overwhelming force or bloodshed, especially because it most likely won’t be them doing the fighting, but, like always, people from the lower classes. They can just sit back and watch and if they lose… well they just move abroad and continue the fight in exile like the White movement did.
So it’s not about being too bloodthirsty, it’s just being consequential about the realities of class-warfare. And I say this as an An-Com.
