What if he lifestyle is super bourgeois but then she's ok with a communist life style?

The same way I excuse the Reign of Terror: circumstantially necessary.

You realize this is a contradiction right?

why would we?

Terror that occurs during the revolution is absolutely necessary because that's what a revolution is. You have to terrorize in order to seize. However, I've never understood the need for suppression after the revolution is done. It seems that after that point you'd only be suppressing fellow socialists from highly suspect and corrupt purposes.
In my mind, the proletarian state should already have removed all of the capitalists from power upon the revolution, so there should be no capitalists left to require suppression. The terror is actually an admission that the revolution is incomplete. If the state has a proletarian character, then the revolution is done, and all that's left is defending militarily against bourgeois states, spreading the revolution through international propaganda and military action, and doing normal state stuff like enforcing laws. Purges strongly imply the state is not proletarian.
Step 1: Revolution, YOU SET UP A DICTATORSHIP OF THE PROLETARIAT AND FUCKING SEIZE THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION. The proletarian state operates some, and the rest can be co-ops, or some other scheme. Whatever. POINT IS: NONE OF IT SHOULD BE PRIVATE PROPERTY.
Step 2: You're kind of done, internally. There are no capitalists to purge. It makes no sense to declare things to be abstractly bourgeois if they have no relation to any kind of capitalist property system. The revolution can be expanded externally, but this should be it.
The only reason the purges happened in Russia was because the NEP instituted by Lenin was an admission of failure in of itself, and then Stalin reacted to that failure partly by destroying the new capitalists (good), but then pointlessly destroying the army officers and fellow socialists (bad). Next time the revolution won't need to go like this, because the only real revolution is one that occurs in the very core of the economic world, in america. Capitalism has developed enough that there is ZERO excuse for a NEP type climb down. The capitalists will be 100% purged during the revolution, and then that will be that. There will be no need for inter-party purges that only excuse capitalism, and at least half of the propaganda against socialism.

There's no excuse, this place is filled with 14 yo edgy ☭TANKIE☭s. Defending Stalin does not make you a "truer" socialist, don't fall for that crap.

"after the revolution"
ah yes, it just ends with the construction of capitalism because "there's no capitalists"
literally nowhere
and the ideological struggle seizes as well, because them not being in position of power somehow just disposes of all backward and revisionist thought
what the hell…
