Eat the rich and more rich pop up. It takes more than just "let's get rid of who we think the sole problem is and everything will turn out fine". The rich didn't just appear from a vacuum, they've accumulated power and wealth for centuries, if not millennia. "Eating the rich" would require vastly more fundamental changes than just grabbing goods from the nearest billionaire and tossing at "the poors".

Lol Eat the rich is a euphemism for killing them...not just taking their wealth.

No. Dine upon the flesh of the rich. Consume their nutrients so that you may absorb their power.
