I've always thought the redistributing wealth to be a good thing, to a certain extant.
It does no good if wealthy tycoons simply buy real estate, usually for purposes of converting unreliable cash into reliable tracts of rocks. That money could certainly have been used to fund a company, give seed money, etc, that can feed a growing workforce. That money could've been used for aid programs, ensuring that the most vulnerable do not starve in the motherfucking 21st century.
Many people, including a fair body of wealthy folks, in the US envision redistribution of wealth as "Government takes all your money, makes you live like a rat". The authoritarian Soviets did somewhat contribute to their flawed, extreme idea.
