Quote by Claude Chabrol
I remember an article, I can't recall who by, it was after the fall of the Berlin Wall, which said that now the Wall was down, there could be no more class war. Only someone with money could ever say such a thing.
Summary
This quote highlights the skewed perspective of wealth and privilege in society. It suggests that the idea of class warfare can only be dismissed by those who have the financial means to disregard the very real divisions and disparities that exist between social classes. The fall of the Berlin Wall symbolizes the end of a system built on physical barriers and oppression. However, the quote implies that economic barriers remain intact, and the notion of class struggle cannot simply disappear with the removal of a physical barrier. It serves as a critique of those who trivialize or dismiss social inequality.
