Okay, so it sounds like the situation was a lot like the Soviet Union after their revolution. Well, put the internal enemies in jail, and matter-of-factly and with understatement expose and discredit them.

With executions, people who could have been middle of the roaders and moderately on your side just pull back uncertain, plus you're helping to create martyrs.
I'm sure there are exceptions. But I think this is generally the case and the way to play the poker hand so to speak.
