When using history as a guide, the first lined up are the scholars, artists, scientists, teachers, and anyone else who is educated and not a party member since they are deemed toxic to Communist ideology. Then comes the bourgeoisie, religious leaders and any worshipers that refuse to adopt state atheism, and finally the ethnic Jews.
It's all in the "manual".

All correct except I think the first ones lined up are the disillusioned idealists and disgruntled zealots who find themselves frozen out of power.
Then it progresses as you said.
