I always felt it was hypocritical for adults who believed in punishment to say '2 wrongs don't make a right.' Kids have a sense of justice 2

Also standing up yourself is good.A boy who kicks your PE bag across the room does indeed deserve to have all his stuff knocked off his desk

I think if you intend to tell a child that two wrongs don't make a right, you'd need to apply that to your own behaviour too.

Because its no good telling a kid not to respond to negative behaviour with negative consequences if you do that yourself.

Instead you could help them think about when this is helpful & when it isn't, when they can handle it themselves & when they can't.
