    1. Do a socialist revolution.
    2. Dispose of counter-revolutionaries.
    3. Dispose of people who helped in previous steps (folks doing this step will also probably be disposed of, Beria as example, although that was after Stalin).

    Honorable mention: if, God forbid, somebody even dares to suggest that means of production should actually be directly owned by workers and not party elites/apparatus - immediately dispose of them.

      I mean, „counter-revolutionary” should always be mentioned in definition of hypocrisy. The moment it gets thrown around, you know exactly who you’re dealing with.

        I mean, Robespierre was guillotined for, among other things, “counter-revolutionary activities”.

        In USSR though there could be also a charge for “Trotskyism” or “if you were brought here before court of people’s commissars - you’ve definitely did something wrong”, which was when NKVD didn’t want to really bother with manufacturing accusations.
