The insurmountable problem redistributionists face is that capitalism produces ALL the things they wish to redistribute.
EXACTLY...this is the most basic and fundamental flaw in all collectivist endeavors. Socialism can not avoid this, nor can it alter basic human nature to change it.
When you remove the incentive for someone to produce something, when you take from them the fruits of their labor, they will cease to produce--lowest common denominator comes in to play, and no one will work any harder than the person beside them as there is no purpose in it. Trying to ignore or change this most basic of human characteristics is like trying to ignore or change laws of physics. And unfortunately, hundreds of millions of human beings have been sacrificed in that very pursuit.

Socialism, in order to plunder, needs the boot of a fascistic government.
