Obviously, there needs to be class struggle against the wealthy, but so long as rich people are on top it doesn’t make sense to frame this as “oppression.” And once rich people are no longer on top and the structures that give them power (private property and the state) have been done away with, the very concept of a “rich” person should ideally no longer be a thing; there will no longer be rich people to oppress, only former rich people. And oppressing former rich people just seems like mean-spirited revenge.

TIL if you make a revolution and take active measures to prevent the formation of a counter revolutionary fifth column literally composed of expropriated capitalists so they don’t undo the revolution and drown you in your own blood it’s “mean spirited revenge.”
