Correct. Being rich is always better than being poor no matter what the economic context is. Even Marxists should be able to understand that.

Although, to be precise: Inflation hurts everybody maintaining their savings in some form of cash. Rich people with a large pile of cash also have a lot to lose.

In the medium term current retail prices will be offset by wage increases as long as inflation does not become a galloping inflation.

In fact, Marxists understand this point most of all. Which is why the moral impetus is to remove the possibility of being individually rich, in order to bring a more beautiful wealth to all.

Individual "wealth" is so boring and flat and uninspired. Just Scrooge McDucks everywhere. Doesn't it feel like an archaic concept at this point? Such a narrow instantiation of humanity, can't die soon enough.

I dunno. I'm kinda enjoying the billionaire space race. Some of those McDucks moved us off of 60+ year old launch systems for funzies.

It sure is boring. We probably should eliminate all boring things from the world.

Who gets to decide what is "boring?"
