That's my point though, ostensibly it was all in the name of providing equity to the work class whom were seen as disadvantaged and exploited, but actual fact they were more used as proxy for middle class intellectuals to tear down the class above them and replace it with themselves.
Whether or not they were doing this out of conscious malice or it's just a natural course I'm not actually sure.
- tsimionescu 6y agoMy point is that it was obviously malice, with the 'noble goal' working only as propaganda. If there is any natural course to this, it is only that violent revolutions tend to naturally progress to dictatorial regimes, as they are a good moment for the most ruthless to seize power. The flavor of populism that the new dictators choose to use to ensure the population stays docile seems to matter much less.
