So could anyone. But what does that have to do with anything?
Your edit isn’t making anything any clearer. I’m all for eliminating millionaires and billionaires. In the sense of eliminating the concept. Not the people.
No one said they were. You are arguing a straw man. I simply said that they are indiscriminate. The French revolution sent 23 children to the guillotine. Many more dying imprisoned. Russia sent millions to the gulags to die for simple dissent. Not to mention revolutionaries killing tzar Nicholas’s entire family. Including his young daughter, Anastasia.
They always start out by targeting specific things. But it always gets out of hand. Targeting many more people in the end than is necessary or deserving. When you rule by revolution. You never have peace. Always watching your back waiting for the revolution to unseat you. Your enemy list constantly growing.
No, you couldn’t. That largely goes against The ideology of actual libertarians, anarchists, and communists.
With the barrel of revolution, the oppressed are targeted frequently. Revolution is brutal, indiscriminate. And most importantly, temporary.
If I wanted to be a dick I could.
Which is the exact mindset that has us in arms against billionaires.

It’s exactly how this conversation started. Revolution isn’t about indiscriminate killing.

Whoa whoa whoa, I have no interest in arguing with you, buddy. This was the OP
Colloquially eat the rich or gulliotines are terms for revolution. The ideology behind revolution isn’t “let’s just kill a bunch of people.”
It’s “the ballot or the bullet” and like it or not the US was founded on it.
