I don’t think you understand that quote. “Eat the rich” is part of the full quote, “when the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich”. It’s not about killing rich people, it’s about class struggle and avoiding the situation where the wealthy have accumulated so much that the people are starving. In other words, it’s a warning to the rich not to take so much that they are the only food left.
It is 100% about killing rich people. Also why guillotines are talked about in the context. I don't know why you are trying to spin it any other way.
Yes. Correct. Because extreme wealth ALWAYS leads to violence against the less wealthy.
No I understand the origins. But I also have witnessed it used on here as a call to arms. I'm not referring to the origins, with which I fully agree but, rather, to what it has become as of late; it's current colloquial use.
You really think “eat the rich” is too strong of a response to the rich literally building death camps and making snide jokes about feeding all of the brown people to the alligators? People saying “eat the rich” are crossing too big of a line in this situation?
so in the face of stripping human rights from vulnerable people, you willfully side with the fascists doing said human rights violations. I am from Germany and we went through our history thouroughly in school and I can guarantee you one thing: Any person that advocated for the Nazi cause, were part of the Nazis (even mere infantery cannonfodder), or silenced critiquers were tried in the Nürnberg (Nuremberg) trials as fully guilty. So when the MAGA craze settles, and people look at this situation with a 20 20 vision, I hope you are aware at what you are promoting here. The Hague is there for a reason and any sane person in the western world is just waiting for the trials to begin.
