    “Eat the Rich” just means “rich bad, and make them accountable.” Depending on who is saying it, it could mean anywhere from taxation to revolution. A good chunk of those saying it are revolutionary leftists, like Marxists and Anarchists.

      I mean that’s what I assumed it meant. I didn’t think we were actually going to come out murdering people.

        Again, depends on who is saying it. The sentiment behind hatred for the rich is what is expressed, though the methods differ between leftists, who seek revolutionary change, and disaffected liberals, who seek reforms.

          Oh of course, person by person there are folks who wouldn’t hesitate to grab a machete and get to work.

          Hell, there are people in leftist camps who decided to join when they heard the word “guillotine”
