It's a quote that justifies homicide of the wealthy class, popularised during the French revolution: "When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich"

I guess the French Revolution was a good example of murdering the rich tbf.


If 250 yr old associations had that level of power, then "Vive la France" would be in serious doubt.


That's the first I've heard of that. Has the phrase been associated with cases of homicide or attempted homicide against wealthy people?
