there has to be some plan for the change
Yes, but step 1 of that plan generally involves getting the rich to allow the change
Nothing will improve just with that, only change. It will just lead to horrible oppression first and bloody conflict next after people get enough of that. And after the conflict money just changes owners and new rich will start accumulating wealth at expense of everyone else and cycle begins anew. While times of change are good for… well, changing things there has to be some plan for the change to possibly be actually positive. Otherwise those who are good at exploiting chaos and instability for their own gain will just have free reign.

That is how the plan is put in action. You cant start planning after the gears are in motion because you have limited time to act. And even if you have unlimited time to act, you still need to be prepared to utilize whatever is happening. All kinds of people, other rich people included, will swarm to benefit from things becoming more open for change. Russia had a revolution that started soviet union and we all know how that turned out in the end and have to pay for it even today in form of how russia currently is.
And I’m not saying dont make the rich to listen if nothing else works, just that if you get to that point it will be start of something that either changes something or cements current status quo even worse and you shouldn’t do that haphazardly or it will just make things worse. In fact, best way to do it would be to plan first what you do once you succeed. Though before even that there needs to be a group dedicated to this.
And as to how to make them allow the change, I think managing to turn the general public against them would be good starting point. Cant do much if majority doesnt take you seriously or considers you a threat. So people should be made to feel less alone and apathetic, which is undoing whatever the rich have been doing so stay in power. This alone wont likely do it, but it will support whatever might come next. At least its something anyone can try to do, for example by doing volunteer work that helps those in need, creating communities for people to be in instead of just rotting in social media and generally attempting to make other people happier and acting like decent human being. And if you feel more rebellious, getting the message across by doing stuff how resistance usually achieves it, like writing the message into somewhere to people to see for example. With enough repetition and time it might start to sink in. Just nothing that would make regular people afraid since that is the tool that benefits the enemy.
Maybe there are better ways to do that, but at least this is what comes to my mind at the moment.

Nah make them afriad, if they don’t willingly step back and begin to redistribute their wealth it needs to be forcefully done by the new state
