caboose2006 ( @caboose2006@lemmy.ca ) English4•1 month agoRemember, it took the black death and like 1/2 the population dying to bring about this change
Denvil ( @Denvil@lemmy.one ) English9•1 month agoI mean the black death was like 450 years before the French revolution… I think it just took some angry French people for change
Kwakigra ( @Kwakigra@beehaw.org ) English2•1 month agoOn top of a depressed economy from endless war and poor management of state funds, the details of the lives of nobles started to get published for just anyone to read which was unprecedented. Although no single thing can be attributed to causing the revolution, I think that just learning about how the nobility lived really put a difficult situation over the top for them.
Auli ( @Auli@lemmy.ca ) English6•1 month agoKings had nothing on capitalism. You could overthrow a king.
Cowbee ( @Cowbee@lemmy.ml ) English3•1 month agoYou can overthrow Capitalism, it weakens itself.

Maeve ( @Maeve@kbin.social ) 4•1 month agoI agree with the sentiment and also wonder if she’s still ferociously pro-copyright?
flora_explora ( @flora_explora@beehaw.org ) English6•1 month agoShe died about 6 years ago
Maeve ( @Maeve@kbin.social ) 2•1 month agoOh wow, I had no idea. Thank you for telling me.
nickwitha_k (he/him) ( @nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org ) English3•1 month agoSo, to be clear, it’s rather unlikely that she’s still fiercely pro-copyright.
ditty ( @dditty@lemm.ee ) English2•1 month agoIs this quote from The Dispossessed? Or another of her many works?
