And so, all the Bosnian Serb propaganda which incited genocide harped
on figures from the tax collector detailing inequalities in income by
census tract?

Of course in reality it portrayed Muslims as vile, fanatical insane subhuman 
pieces of filth fit for 'cleansing'.  

{substitute Serb/Croat/Muslim in all permutations as necessary for political

'political economics' my ass. 

Why didn't the Serbians/Croats/Muslims in the countryside revolt against their
own Serbian/Croatian/Muslim city-lords? 

Envy and economic inequality breeds resentment, but only evil tribal hate
breeds genocide.
