actually, i think it refers to Ben the rat in the story Ratman's Notebooks, which became a movie in the 70s called Willard, now redone as a new movie more recently. The man befriends Ben and Socrates, 2 rats, and he gets payback from all the people that treated him bad with his legion of rats that will do what he says.
I agree and the social commentary the movie inspires is somewhat like Animal Farm, but here Vedder is saying, "Hey, we (the people) aren't rats so don't treat us like them...or else." We are human and have other ways of throwing out the big guys. Who really is the rat? Interesting and thought provoking. Yay!
