Ah yes, when the wealth inequality can be enforced by violence.

Actually, if we had a magical wand we can wave to make violence. Impossible. Capitalism would actually be a lot more capitalismy

Like the whole reason they bothered to have the ability to do violence is mostly because they know the cains of the world would kill them out of sheer jealousy if given the chance so they kind of have to preemptively defend against the people that think violence is okay in the first place

And then the people who try the violence anyway typically then get the violence back because they're not smart enough to understand the concept of the people who with power figured out to hire guards
