Quote by G. W. F. Hegel

Poverty in itself does not make men into a rabble; a rabble is created only when there is joined to poverty a disposition of mind, an inner indignation against the rich, against society, against the government.

Poverty in itself does not make men into a rabble; a rabble

Summary

This quote suggests that poverty alone is not enough to create a rabble or unruly mob. The crucial element is the combination of poverty with a mindset that harbors resentment and anger towards the wealthy, society, and the government. It implies that the disposition of mind, characterized by inner indignation, is what fuels the formation of a rabble, indicating that it is not solely socio-economic position but rather the mindset and emotions that define a rabble.
