It's called a strawman when you shoot down an idea that nobody else gives a shit about, however explicitly you do it and however many latin tags and semicolons you use.
Groups who capitalise phrases like The People traditionally want to redistribute control over the means of production, ie. they would have community ownership over microsoft itself. There aren't any socialist revolutionaries who want to break open the bank vaults and just start handing out cash, except in the popular imagination.
The other side of it, the one that's actually practiced in europe etc, is income redistribution, and that's different again.
Wrong; that's only part of it. Strawmanning is when you impute a weak argument to other-side proponents that isn't actually representative, so that you can knock it down, leaving the impression that there remains nothing against your side of the issue.
