If I paid more attention in English class I could make this into an essay. Something about the “dog eat dog” nature of capitalism and the expectation that you will do it with rosy cheeks. The use of the butcher pig is an interesting take on the idiom as the harsh competition is often thought of as between faceless firms; rather than a blue collar worker.

Could it be that this pig is a revolutionary and is eating the rich pig?
