Isn't there one of these where some CEO hires Marx to help reduce costs by downsizing and then he gives guns to all the employees?
Marx only mentions the guillotine a handful of times, none of which seem to be particularly supportive of the idea.
"On the 6th, the guillotine was brought out by the 137th Battalion of the National Guard, and publicly burnt, amid great popular rejoicing." - Karl Marx, The Civil War in France
The guillotine is a metaphor obviously.
It represents the guns the proletariat should use.
Also you left out the end of the quote. It's "smh". Otherwise its just a statement of fact.
