I don't know what kind of shitty parties you've been to, but normally, when the piñata breaks open, everyone rushes up and gets some. It doesn't all go to the person with the bat.
Pinata candy has never been equally distributed among all of the children, that I've ever seen. Sure, parents will often intervene to make sure everyone gets some, but the one who succeeds in breaking it always gets the most.
The person who breaks it open has their hands full of bat and a blindfold over their eye. Whereas the rest of the jackals children are poised to spring!
So the person who breaks the piñata usually get less, or even nothing.
The "what" is the primary message of the meme. The "how" is up for debate. We can do it the nice and easy way, institutionally and orderly, with wealth taxes that are punitive enough to undo the obscene degree of inequality. Or we can do it the hard way with guillotines. Obviously I much much rather prefer the first, I would indeed like to keep my hobbies and walk my dog. So the patricians better go along, because the plebs cannot be blamed if they end up with no other option than violent revolution.

It never existed to begin with. It was always “stash and horde”

Beat it until money stops coming out and leave its pulped remains for dead?

Why is Mr. Rogers' cat lecturing me about economics?!
Daniel Tiger certainly seems to have become jaded by today's political climate.

It's kinda giving me anarcho-capitalist vibes personally.

Beating the rich and redistributing their wealth gives you capitalist vibes?

Piniatas aren't obviously full of candy from the outside; they are the fancily dressed up target by a local authority, beaten by a mob.

I think breaking pinatas breaks the nap.

So, an economy where the most violent and best-armed are the most wealthy? lol

And that's my point.

ACKSHULLY,

Being pedantic with the meme are we?
The point is that we need to break that piñata.
The "what" is the primary message of the meme. The "how" is up for debate. We can do it the nice and easy way, institutionally and orderly, with wealth taxes that are punitive enough to undo the obscene degree of inequality. Or we can do it the hard way with guillotines.
