All the advantages of the rich over the poor rest on flogging, imprisonment and murder
Drawn from what Leo Tolstoy said
What Leo Tolstoy actually said
- Leo Tolstoy Russian novelist and moral philosopher (1828 to 1910)
But one need only recall the facts of history, not the history of the exploits of different dynasties of rulers, but real history, the history of the oppression of the majority by a small number of men, to see that all the advantages the rich have over the poor are based on nothing but flogging, imprisonment, and murder.
