Challenge: Cannibalism as a pursuit of the rich
With a [point of departure] between 1400 and 1900, cause a scenario where the rich and the powerful feast (literally) on the poor in a show of dominance. Cannibalism is a pursuit of the leisure class, like golf, polo, or African safaris....
The reality is that cannibalism is what some people have to do in order to survive under Communist rule. The rulers. of course, are never short on food.
It is the normal practice of totalitarians to defame their victims, creating the illusion of legitimacy, before murdering them. In dehumanizing the victims they are in fact dehumanizing themselves. With a death toll of well over 100 million the Communists have throughly demonstrated that they are Enemies of Human Kind in General. Fit only for extermination.
What are your questions on this block of instruction?

Actually, there's a novel in which a very similar practice exists (though it's set in a fairly distant future):
Robert Heinlein's Farnham's Freehold.
Read it.
