Is it? On what grounds would you oppose the execution of the top 1%? And realize that opposing their execution would make you an "enemy of the revolution".
The French Revolution...
French society underwent an epic transformation as feudal, aristocratic and religious privileges evaporated under a sustained assault from radical left-wing political groups and the masses on the streets.
The Reign of Terror also known simply as The Terror, was a period of violence that occurred after the onset of the French Revolution, incited by conflict between rival political factions, the Girondins and the Jacobins, and marked by mass executions of "enemies of the revolution." Estimates vary widely as to how many were killed, with numbers ranging from 16,000 to 40,000; in many cases, records were not kept or, if they were, they are considered likely to be inaccurate. The guillotine (called the "National Razor") became the symbol of the revolutionary cause, strengthened by a string of executions: Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, the Girondins, Philippe Égalité (Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orléans) and Madame Roland, as well as many others, such as pioneering chemist Antoine Lavoisier, lost their lives under its blade.
Your friends on Wall Street seek to bring about the same kind of revolution here and, like the French, they are doing it in the name of freedom and equality. People like yourself have been conditioned to view the top 1% the same way the French Revolutionaries viewed the French nobility and French aristocracy, as tyrants who live at the expense of the rest of the population, as obstacles to freedom and equality, as a segment of the population that needs to be punished for their greed and removed from positions of political power. I doubt it would take much to convince you that such people need to be put to death for the greater good.
