Consider these quotes that sound just too damn familiar from "The Russian Revolution" by Alan Moorehead 1958:

"… this was a predatory state which the Czar and a small group of noblemen and bureaucrats ruled for their own exclusive benefit...The ruling group owned all the wealth, enjoyed all the privileges and monopolized all the political power, and it did not intend to give up any of its prerogatives. It considered the peasants to be little better than animals..."

The peasants presented still another problem. All over Russia they were beginning to feel their power, and they were armed.

Link to the Donna Zuckerberg article:

First I heard of Donna Z was at Stave Sailer at UNZ. Her so called classics magazine is 90% female writers and they want to take down the traditional histories of classical civilizations. Written by the evil Patriarchy of course. One must think that wacky Donna has unlimited funding for her vanity project. From Zuck of course!

An armed peasant is a good peasant. Even if his arms are axes and pitchforks.

Yep. But the cookie-cutter conservatives are all for selling ropes to commies so they can hang us all.

I also consider Pirate Steve Jobs to have been a crook. He stole from Xerox and got away with it.
