I’ll start, I missed the outdoor cats struggle session so i don’t know what its deal was except a vague idea that outdoor cats were bad, so I’ve let my two cats stay being outdoor cats because I feel bad locking them inside, like I want to give them some experience of freedom to go where they please so they can live more fulfilling lives
Edit: also kruschev is imo a lot better than most hexbear users give him credit for
The struggle session I’m always ready for: When are reactionaries deserving of death rather than a chance at rehabilitation?
check the silly meter
Depends on resources.
Reeducation is always preferable, but resources to do reeducation are non-existent during revolution, civil war, etc. And you will not have the resources to hold them in camps either. There will be quick popup courts and sentencing out of necessity when resources are low.

Depends on what they did and how compliant they are initially. Like China’s proud of rehabilitating Emperor Puyi, even though the guy was a war criminal. Despite that he was cooperative with the new government and he was put through like a personal psychodrama where he was forced to meet with victims of the Japanese occupation. They did this to him for decades.
Convenience is the real answer. If they’re responsible for genocide and have powerful allies elsewhere in the world, no good can come from keeping them alive. If they’re not cooperative and keep agitating fellow reactionaries, then get rid of them. I guess there’s a risk of turning them into martyrs, but there are probably ways around that. Like how the Soviets burned the corpses of Nazi officials so there wouldn’t be graves.
This was only possible because by the time the Chinese communists took power, there hasn’t been an emperor in China for 37 years. That means if you were born in the year of the Chinese revolution in 1911, by the time the Chinese Civil War ended in 1949, you would already be 38 years old probably with teenage kids of your own already. You and your kids have practically lived your entire lives without an emperor.
If you think about how the Russian revolution happened, the situation was far more precarious because there was an immediate connection to the memory of living under the Tsar, and there were forces that would want to restore the imperial rule. In this case, would it be possible to rehabilitate the Romanov family?
Yeah, in the case of the Romanov family, other countries were foaming at the mouth for an excuse to invade the USSR. Restoring the old royal family was one of the justifications.
It’s hard to restore a royal family if the entirety of them are dead.
There are still Romanovs in my country who host teenage summer camps or something. The west-euros would’ve definitely invaded Russia to reestablish their cousins.
