'get rid of people' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'identified after revolution' is the wordplay.
'identified' becomes 'named' ('name' can be a synonym of 'identify').
'after revolution' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'named' back-to-front is 'DEMAN'.
