For over a century, that's more or less what the raised fist has meant.
To specifically mean "eat the rich", I suggest a variation : contract and relaxe the fist muscles, as if it were chewing something.

I have a Deaf meetup on Saturday, I can ask
Middle finger(s) should do the trick.
The feeling behind the finger is simple and sufficient if directed toward the fascist/racist, but wouldn't work to show solidarity to others; it'd amount to the California Howdy.
That white power sign - isn't that the same "i can make you look at this circle" sign from our youth?
That and the signal that everything is okay when diving
No because that has to be done below the waist, which also changes the orientation.
That's what they do....
They grab something that exists, tell each other its their sign, and then when called out try to use plausible deniability.
Is that the same as “the game” where it was something like you lose when you remember about it?
You just lost the game
Damnit!
The person saying this has also lost the game, so the joy comes from dragging someone innocent down with you.
The "money" gesture, rub your thumb on your two fore fingers 
Ooh, with a snapping of fingers at the end, to signify a satisfying sound to end the rich with
Soooo, I'm not wrong here, right? 😅
I have one for ya.
American Sign Language: "hungry"
The sign for "hungry" is made by forming your right hand into the letter "c." Move your hand down the middle of your chest.
BUT DONT MOVE YOUR HAND UP AND DOWN UNLESS YOU'RE HORNY
I just learned something I can use.
I like this one. The tie between "eat" and "hungry" works.
There's an ick factor imagining a middle class American using a sign that'd also be a good fit for people who are literally starving. So that leaves me unsure. But this is certainly in the right spirit.
Ooooh, but the other uses of the sign increase plausible deniability.
🤌
Hand fully extended, fingers together, flat against the chest cross-ways. Move the hand up towards the neck in a guillotine-like motion.
The peace sign but with the fingers curled to represent a couple of teeth.
Oh, wait, that's already taken by the Beavers. Ahh, we can probably take those little shits.
Punch a capitalist.
🖕
I vote for a 'snap into a slim jim' like gesture
OOHH YEEEAAAH!
