If your argument is that the person with a Lamborghini isn't materially better off in a real sense and that wealth inequality is therefore a social construction then I am profoundly confused if you are also aligned with the article's thesis that pitchforks are going to be involved due to wealth inequality.
The logical conclusion of that line of thought is to destroy the Lamborghini to promote wealth equality, which is stupid.
