Yes, it absolutely is the point. I don’t think billionaires should exist, full stop. They have already dehumanized everyone but themselves, so IMO turnaround is completely fair in this situation. Starting with a very extreme demand like “eat the rich” gives us lots of room to negotiate their surrender.
In general, I agree with you. But some cases are too important and cannot be reasoned with. As an otherwise avowed pacifist, I’d put “punch a Nazi in the face” on this list of acceptable moral hypocrisy, too.
