it has nothing to do with being "inherently evil" but they made choices that hurt people I care about and I'd like to see them suffer or die for that

I don't understand this sentiment that justice should always be rehabilitative. why should it be? are you angry or aren't you

it's not a communist attitude to plan to grimace your way through an unpleasantly bloody revolution until you can reimpose your lofty ideas of justice on that annoying mob of rabble outside. the party's role during a revolution is to give a voice and direction to popular violence, and afterwards it's to give the violence the imprimatur of legality. we shoot class enemies. because after all the party represents the proletariat, and a socialist revolution presupposes extreme antagonisms between the proletariat and its exploiters. ppl want demons like musk dead for good reasons, and it doesn't really matter if that makes you squeamish
