Why does this sound familiar? Something like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_them_eat_cake (luxury bread) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3515122/Kim-Jong-warns-North-Koreans-prepare-chew-roots-country-heads-devastating-famine.html This spoken to the sounds of "Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it." The dictatorship's main state-run newspaper told citizens to brace themselves for another 'arduous march' - a term used to describe the great four-year North Korean famine of the 1990s. The warning came in the wake of China agreeing to new stiff sanctions against North Korea, in response to its recent nuclear test and rocket launch. comment: Or as Charlton Heston said in The Ten Commandments "Blood makes poor mortar". It is nearly always the starving who finally revolt or Les Miserable - the miserable poor. It was those without bread, the French in their revolution, who stormed the Bastille and carried the Bourgeois to behead them with the guillotine. How long can such a thing go on? Not forever.
