This is always better than "eat the rich". Because everyone means it metaphorically, until some edgy idiot says "duh I mean literally let's eat them huh huh", and then any meaningful call to action gets lost.

IMHO we should build systems outside government control (like Lemmy), but at least slaughtering the rich is something people might realistically do.
