Lack of understanding of class. Billionaires are just the obscene top of the top of the bourgeoisie and they do excercise disproportional power in the ruling class, but the class war isn’t only about them, it’s about the system which makes their power possible. For example China also have billionaires, but they aren’t even 1/100 of a problem there.
I am always amazed how everyone is so focused on billionaires only

Easier to focus on a few, very public individuals.
Pareto principle. Eat the billionaires, distribute their wealth: 20% of the effort for 80% of the result.
