How the fuck would that work? This must have been about capital gains taxes for wealthy individuals or something. Unless your goal isn't a sustainable society but simply taking what you need from bad people and letting them die...

If redistribution by force supports good people and harms bad people why would anyone be against it?

Humans are generally bad, but can be pushed to be good. No matter what friend-enemy distinction you make, or moral system you come up with, any society is going to be made up of "good" and "bad" people, along with people who may shift from one status to another over the course of their life. Morality, shame, laws and the enforcement of laws by the state are mainly needed to scare bad people or potentially bad people into acting right, while still contributing and participating in society. It's unpleasant to consider, but a lot of the wheels of society are operated by bad people. Trying to constantly remove bad people would have the same result as a leftist purity spiral and lead to everything collapsing. Instead they just need to be "whipped" and kept in line to keep the machine going smoothly.

(But that does not preclude something like ESG or China's social credit score, where your friends and people who do what you want get rewarded more than the bad people who might help your enemies.)
