That's literally how socialism and communism works in real life.
Radicals tell the masses what they want to hear, and then seize radical power, take their weapons, and force their will upon the people, while claiming it's for everyone's benefit. People who haven't witnessed it firsthand believe the insane pink-powder theory that "if I were in charge, I would be able to implement it correctly", daydreaming they are superior and able to handle dictator-level power. Why else would Carl Marx and others admit it has to be forced upon an unwilling population?
What you're describing is a mix of populism and plutocracy/kleptocracy/oligarchy, these can and do thrive under any type of political or economical system, they didn't wait for socialism to exist... and unless Putin and Trump are far left radical communists, they're implementing, in different ways, what you just described lmao.
you can't philosophy reality away with your academic theories. This is why research has to be validated with real life results. It's basic scientific theory.
