To be fair, the original source of the "eat the rich" line is a third party account of the President of the Paris Commune, Pierre Gaspard Chaumette, delivering a speech in 1793 in which he said:
>Rousseau faisait parti 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.'
No account of philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau saying it exists.
