You assume that the slaughtering was based on class. I don&#x27;t think this is true. A lot of the killing was just about maintaining political power, just like in any dictatorship, whatever the official ideology.<p>You also need to consider what class means. It&#x27;s basically behaviour: you are upper class if you exploit others. In that lens, it becomes ok to hate the upper class, but the upper class can change, it&#x27;s not hated based on something inherent to the people that make it up, like &quot;race&quot;.
