Landlords in Communist China

Was just reading about this. Totally crazy. Millions of people killed just for being landlords! Apparently it wasn't even the military, like in most mass killings. The government just said they wouldn't prosecute anyone who killed a landlord, and the tenants rose up of their own accord and murdered their own landlords. Probably people they knew pretty well

Really makes me think. What would our tenants do to us if the government promised to look the other way? Scary
