The Pitchfork Economics podcast is pretty much about exactly just that: pay people more before they come and eat the rich. It started off well, and then went downhill a bit.
i think that the whole ‘eat the rich’ thing has been a sort of hyperbolic call to arms by the serfs for a long time. i would imagine every starving revolutionary at some point has said something similar.
Pearl S. Buck won a Nobel Prize for literature for saying something very similar (she was estranged from her missionary parents) in The Good Earth (known to Canadians of a certain age as the in-flight movie in the Royal Canadian Air Farce raio episode wherein the pilot announces that “passengers may wish to look out their window and note the lovely local countryside which is approaching us so rapidly”) … because Hitler could veto the preferred winner that year with a little Commie assistance, but the IJA couldn’t … and that arguably, along with Treasury’s sanctions on Nippon, convinced Tokyo to pursue a Southern, rather than Northern Strategy, thus saving what we used to call “World Communism”.
