I'm not sure any policy or redistribution could "make everyone worse off", since a large portion of the world has zero wealth.

Easy. Kill everyone. Perfect equality has been achieved, so the egalitarians are happy, and everyone is worse off.

Or if you think some people's lives are currently worse than death, instead go for the (slightly more logistically challenging) option of torturing everyone equally.
