Targeted assassinations with effective messaging could potentially sway billionaires from environmentally destructive actions on the simple threat of death, plus they can lose the foundation of their labour force if the threat of an attack is tacked onto their working conditions. Even if that doesn't sway them, there's a certain point where the reactive security in response to such attacks would run up against the profit margin.
You're right that the state and media would vilify such actions and use it as justification to take a few more steps toward fascism, but that's the fault of those entities, not of assassination in itself. I'm also not of the mind that fascism is inherently successful.
Similar to the way that you're viewing the outcome of ecoterrorist attacks, Bat likely thinks that you're a proponent of neoliberalism because you're rejecting anything that threatens it, which functionally the same as supporting neoliberal norms.
