So the 2% of the population that were aristocrats and clergy represented 14% of the executions, while the peasants and workers who made up 90%+ of the population were 72% of the executions.
In other words, the aristocrats and clergy had nine times the chance of being executed that the rest of the population had, pretty much in line with jamest's "tenfold" degree of suffering of the elites when this sort of thing really comes to a head. And even among peasants, it was those rich enough to have something to hoard that got executed.

I understand that you take a position that implies the best way to end the suffering of poor people is to execute them all, yes.
I disagree that that's a good solution, because I think your definition of suffering is ridiculous.
