    Is “eat the rich” not a death threat in its own right?

    Maybe it is but I always took it as “let’s take their money and redistribute the wealth.”

      Frankly that doesn’t sound honest. Especially when picture of guillotines are sent by the same crowd. Even more considering that wealthy people are not going to volunteer their wealth through reasonable debate.
