Even “eat the rich” simply means “tax them until they pay their fair share” instead of cannibalism.

They have plenty of time and money, so they can afford to work out. They'll be super tough.

The worst part is that their assets are going to simply be bestowed on whoever whatever entity it was willed, and the accumulation itself is the problem, so even the actual supposed benefit is zero. Killing billionaires only makes the actual disparity more inefficient, you have to break up that wealth in a real way for it to be good at all.
