Wikipedia says:
Pierre Gaspard Chaumette, President of the Paris Commune, gave a speech to the city during the Reign of Terror on 14 October 1793 in which he apocryphally said:

Rousseau faisait partie du peuple aussi, et il disait: 'Quand le peuple n'aura plus rien à manger, il mangera le riche.'

Rousseau, who was also one of the people, said: 'When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich.'

The phrase was initially a criticism of the French nobility, but it was later popularized in France as a response to the perceived failures of the French Revolution that perpetuated poverty in the country.

The phrase has been used for the title of a 1987 film and a song for the film by Motörhead. It was also the title of a 1993 song by Aerosmith. The book Eat the Rich was published by P. J. O'Rourke in 1998. The comic series Eat the Rich debuted in 2021.

The Rockefellers are known for the population counsel and population control. Eating them would reduce the population a little, so start with them. LOL!
