    not to antagonize, but i really don’t know if revolutionaries would just buy it if a bougie/petit bougie just tells them “wait! don’t shoot! i like mao/lenin/marx/engel!”, i feel like they might put them into some kind of test (for example asking what mao/lenin/marx/engels’ viewpoints on certain things are) first to see if the bougie/petit bougie in question is being genuine.

      Absolutely, I meant you have to do what they did: serve the people and it doesn’t matter where you started.

      betray your class, use your privilege against them, and become indistinguishable from the masses.

      It depends what you do before things reach that point. Fidel was extremely wealthy and his family profited heavily off of the Batista regime with massive sugar plantations. However, no one ever accused Fidel of being a bourgeoisie threat, because the very first act of Fidel’s during the revolution was to collectivize and nationalize all of his family’s assets and farms.

      He became a class traitor (In the good way).

      You can too. Even if you are petite, then supporting the revolution is all that you really need to do.

        ok, but how did he do this? i don’t imagine it was as easy as it sounds.

          “Hey guys, now that the revolution has succeeded here is my program to nationalize all of the sugar industries in Cuba. To show that I am serious and have no biases, I will nationalize all of my personal and family farms and assets first; they belong to the people not myself.”

          That was pretty much it.
