History echoes.
"But in gaynesse and in glotonye
For-glutten hir good hemselve,
And breketh noght to the beggere"
[But in gayness and in gluttony themselves gulp down their wealth, breaking no bread for the beggar.]

Description of Peasants Revolt of 1341
#PeasantsRevolt 1341
Compare w/ TeaParty n current chaos.
Today thousands of pissed off enlisted, veterans, cops, fed workers would hitch up to a Gen Washington in a NY minute seeing how shockingly stupid SecDef is. Restoring democracy would take a week.

Peasants' Revolt 1381
Kentish rebels under Wat Tyler reached Blackheath just outside London #OnThisDay in 1381 as the #PeasantsRevolt challenged Richard II's rule & the oppression of the peasantry within a rigid class structure in medieval #England...

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1381, the #PeasantsRevolt (#WatTylersRebellion), broke out in England. Caused by high taxes for the #HundredYearsWar and the economic crises of the #BlackDeath, it helped end #serfdom, indirectly aiding the rise of capitalism as a way to preserve power.
