It's trivially true that an unequal-but-growing economy is better than a more-equal-but-shrinking one. But that's neither here nor there. No-one's advocating radical changes. No-one's saying we should carve up the golden goose because eggs were being 'unfairly' distributed. It's another hallmark of bad faith arguments to respond to a disagreement-in-degrees as if the other side were advocating extreme positions. No-one's seizing the means of production here.
