改朝换代和中共大范围地杀光地主士绅阶层, 羞辱以至整死知识分子(士大夫)两码事.I wouldn't give them such a high grade. You need to compare gentry in England and gentry in ancient China ...
Every 2 or 3 hundred years, there was an uprising in China that destroyed the ruling classes. This is not something new ... Why ?
中国历朝历代,除了元/清朝和毛共时期, 都没这么干过.
细究起来, 清朝比毛共文明点, 元朝比毛共更野蛮点.
