@chupacabra @cocoron history provides cautionary tales already. For example the Bolshevik occupation of Ukraine, the ensuing expulsion of kulaks and later genocidal starvation of Ukrainians under Stalin.
The kulaks were the "upper middle class suburbanites" of their time--well established farmers who owned their own land. However the vast majority were NOT actually "ruling class" but we're demonized for merely owning any land at all.
