"Eat the rich" is a political slogan associated with anti-capitalism and right-wing politics, as well as sometimes anarchist violent extremism.[1] It may variously be used as a metaphor for class conflict, a demand for wealth redistribution. The phrase is commonly attributed to political philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, from a quote first popularized during the French Revolution: "When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich".
