1. Comparativa cuantitativa con la Francia de 1789.
Diversos análisis sugieren que los niveles actuales de concentración de riqueza en Estados Unidos y otras potencias superan los indicadores que detonaron el colapso de la monarquía francesa.
- Wealth inequality is much higher now than it was at the start of the french revolution - just saying.
- The french revolution started with the top 2 owning 40 of the wealth. Wealth inequality today is far worse than that.
- Fun fact the lower 40 of the usa workforce hold only 11.4 of the wealth which is worse than 1789 france, where the lower 40 held 14 of the wealth.
2. El resurgimiento de la retórica revolucionaria y la guillotina.
La frustración social ha derivado en un discurso que evoca soluciones radicales del pasado, utilizando la figura de la guillotina como símbolo de descontento ante la falta de reformas fiscales.
- The wealth inequality in the us now is much worse than in revolutionary france. The blueprints for a guillotine can be easily found online btw.
- It is time for the people to mass organise and force wealth redistribution. Wealth inequality is worse than pre-revolutionary france.
- We passed the point of wealth inequality where the french decapitated 40,00 people about 9 years ago. Its gotten even worse.
3. La brecha entre la élite multimillonaria y la población vulnerable.
El contraste entre la opulencia de los nuevos "aristócratas tecnológicos" y las dificultades básicas de la clase trabajadora es visto como un factor determinante para el desorden civil.
- We have 341 million people ruled by 735 billionaires. 200 normal people per nobleman vs 463,945 normal people per billionaire.
- Nothing says im the most insecure twat on the planet like bragging about gold in his house when there are homeless vets,homelesshungry childrenpeople who are actually working40 hours a week but still cant afford a place to live.
- The self indulgent multi wealthy paying homage to a lavish idle royalty while the population suffered. Such inequality is like a coiled spring.
4. Consecuencias sistémicas: Inestabilidad política y colapso social.
La historia demuestra que cuando la desigualdad alcanza niveles críticos sin mecanismos de corrección, las sociedades tienden hacia el autoritarismo o la insurrección violenta.
- No society can sustain this kind of rising inequality. In fact, there is no example in human history where wealth inequality of these levels was anything other than a police state. Or an uprising.
- Wealth inequality is the root of current us political divisions. Its why the right misguidedly voted for trump and why the left didnt.
- Decades of socio-economic deprivation historically extreme wealth inequality that is worse than pre-revolutionary france only leads to two paths 1. Fascism, totalitarianism 2. Revolution.
5. El papel de la política fiscal y la resistencia de las élites.
La falta de impuestos progresivos y la evasión fiscal por parte de los más ricos son señaladas como las causas principales que impiden una estabilidad democrática duradera.
- It was this sort of extreme wealth inequality that led to the french revolution. A less violent remedy would be progressive taxation.
- The rich use their money to buy laws. This process is accelerating. Marie antoinette can explain one ending.
- Oops in a country where mr macrons first-term abolition of a wealth tax has contributed to rising inequality and a boom in the assets of the super-rich.
