Notes -
One of the primary problems is that you can't redistribute "wealth", you can only redistribute money, land and status to a limited degree.
The big secondary problem is that most wealth doesn't exist in any real form. It's all valuation and market incentives, which means a lot of people's aggregated opinions about how much something is worth, and it could be worth that, or it could be worth nothing.
Elizabeth Holmes had a company worth 4.5 billion at one point, but the real value was negative. None of that money existed. No one ever drew a dime of that money in wages, or spent it on anything. It was theoretical money, theoretical wealth, just the opinions of some upper-crust shitheels who got conned by a blonde chick. Numbers in a computer. None of this shit exists, the mortgages, the stocks, the bonds, the Nikei, Wall Street, etc. It's all opinion and social convention.
Tertiary problem, if you redistribute money, the elites will just inflate the money supply and all will be for nothing.
Land and status are more promising, but both are zero-sum games and thus require harsh trade-offs. We focus on redistribution of money ("wealth") because it is theoretically boundless, and any elite losses can be inflated away easily.
There is only one way to actually redistribute wealth, and that is for a different elite to take the possessions and positions of the current elite by force. This doesn't help the common people, but it isn't meant to.
