And by killing those 8, the wealth would be distributed such that 8 people would own the same wealth as half the world.

At the "guillotine billionaires" stage, I wouldn't assume that billionaire heirs would get their inheritance as usual.

We gather the top 8 and tell them #9 is being promoted to #1, either through a wealth tax, or a head tax.

Repeat at least annually.

So a return to monarchy.

At that point we should just utilize democracy to tax them.

EDIT: I misread that as the #9 getting the wealth of the previous 8.

Yeah, it's not enough to simply kill the wealthy.

Sure, it will upset the market. Certain people in certain positions may change their mind about certain things. Perhaps some will rightfully fear the masses. But ultimately it's all temporary so long as the system that allows for such individuals to appear still exists.

Step 1: Kill billionaires and Trump to prevent them from stopping a new system being established.

Step 2: Establish the new system.

Planning to make a plan is not a plan, really.
