Quote by Jean-Paul Sartre

When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die.

When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die.

Summary

This quote highlights the disproportionate impact of war on the disadvantaged and impoverished members of society. It suggests that the rich, who typically have the power to initiate and finance conflicts, are not the ones facing the direct consequences and dangers of warfare. Instead, it is the poor who are often compelled to fight, serve in the military, or experience the devastating consequences of war, such as displacement, loss of loved ones, and destruction of their communities. The quote presents a critique of the unequal distribution of power and the inherent injustice in how conflicts are waged.
