Well, thats more of a general thing for extremists. That happens to be independent of left or right. Just watch Lemmings down vote brigading.

That being said: generally of anybody tries to break any complex problem down to a simple answer you should be very careful what you do next. Thats how scams work and long existing political problems like right wing populism still exist for a reason. Yes, its complicated. A guillotine won't solve that. Yes I'm taking to you... ;)

"Eating the rich" won't help either, but taxing the shit out of them might do away with some of the problem for some time, so this would be better than doing nothing and letting people get so angry they fall for the populist scam.

I interpret "eat the rich" as a call for a 180 attitude change on the oligarchs: to view with extreme distrust anyone with a country-sized capital, especially if they leverage it for political power.

Admittedly that's my interpretation, I'm sure many call for literal guillotines.
