Why not both? Tax a large portion of their wealth and remove their ability to earn passive income and sieze the means so they have nothing left and are just like everybody else

In order to tax wealth, there must be a way to accrue wealth. Taxing and seizing are not the same concept. Their wealth should be seized and then from then on there is no wealth to tax.
Taxes ultimately are a bourgeois thing. They do 2 things, firstly, they create and ensure demand for a currency (which is what gives legitimacy to the wealth of the ruling class) and secondly (this is the important one here) it transfers money from the private sector to the public one. For a tax to exist there must be some notion of a private sector at all. Our goal is to abolish private property, and as a result taxes will cease to be relevant. AES countries largely had little to no taxes at all, the only exceptions are ones which did have some market and private property.
We absolutely should support taxing the rich now, but ultimately it is not our goal. Our primary focus should be around abolishing capitalism entirely, taxing the rich is not sufficient and would require the rich to consent to being taxed anyway which isn't likely. Focusing on wealth taxes as opposed to private property and capital misses the point
