That's going to be difficult to organise in a plutocracy.

There are insane sums being spent in organised campaigns to limit the ability of governments to interfere with this ethic of systemic financial capture.

There might be a sweet spot where plutocracy is incompatible with kleptocracy. When you own a government you'd want some level of property maintenance. When you want to enrich yourself with public money you want as much of it as possible. The long vs the short game.
