ok before I begin I have to say two things, first is that I’m really uneducated when it comes to this subject, so please excuse my ignorance. second is that I’m not trying to splain anything or virtue signal at all, I just wrote what I thought when I saw the post, and I tried to be honest, so please assume good faith.
The murder of the bourgeois class isn’t just an emotional response to the horrors of bourgeois politics. It’s an attempt to secure the future, by removing the largest sources of counter-revolution from your society.
but can’t it be done by capturing their wealth and therefore diminish their power? I mean what else do they have other than property and political power? aren’t they declawed when you take both?
and they are always outnumbered by the working class, so how can they do anything against the revolution when they are powerless?
and aren’t Chinese billionaires currently exploiting the working class again? so there is still the bourgeois class, right?

This is definitely the case in modern China, where the Communist Party has a strong hold over the country and its bourgeois class, so internal counter-revolutionary fervor isn’t as terrifying of a threat as it was in the beginning periods of the PRC’s establishment. But in its inception, the PRC had to secure its future and be very strict toward the lord class, lest the lords attempt a counter-revolution, which as @Farmer_Heck@lemmygrad.ml has said, is very common in every revolution. Plus, many PRC citizens still had the suffering they endured under the lords fresh on their mind, as opposed to now where feudal lords no longer exist in the same capacity.

Yes, the bourgeoisie and billionaires still exist in modern China, but do not have the level of control over society that they do in the West. Yes, those billionaires are still exploiting the working class. It is one of the many contradictions that China has to contend with as it develops socialism in a capitalist world.
