    They didn’t have to punish them with death, I am against the death penalty by nation states. Just actually forbidding them from becoming party members and high roles in society would’ve been good.

      Laudable of you. I’ve heard it opined but I haven’t seen the proof, that it would have been impossible to carry on as a society without allowing former party members to hold certain offices, such as judges and other positions. I don’t know if I credit that version of events personally, but it’s the one on the table that I know of.
