Just a reminder that in France, it was people like him that were deciding who went to the guillotine. The French Revolution was a win for the bourgiousie against the aristocracy. People constantly refer to it when talking about rich people. But it was a capitalist coup.
Think “modern US Republican Party” and you’ll understand the dynamics of the French Revolution. Wealthy businessmen whipping up the common man to be their front-line. Was capitalism better than aristocracy? Sure. But the situation is different now.
IMO, we really need to find a better point of reference than guillotines
