Your comment reminded me of a story once told of Baron Rothschild, Marcos

He was out walking and was recognized by two workers who accosted him and said it was not fair that one man should have all that wealth and it should be shared out equally. Without hesitation Rothschild pulled out his purse

“I possess 50 million marks and there are 50 million in the country, so good sirs, accept one mark each as your individual share of my riches”

He gave them the money and walked away leaving the two workers somewhat confused.

Probably not true but it is a capitalist story that we socialists can use against the concept of re-distribution of wealth rather than expropriation of the means of production
