Karl Marx, never ran a company, never held political office, never oversaw any accounts, never held a job – any job, supported throughout his life by his friend Friedrich Engles, the son of a wealthy factory owner. Considered by many to be the greatest social, political, and economic philosopher of all time. All applications of his theories have ended in failure.
I will tell you what will happen if a socialist revolution aka wealth distributions occurs.
Who do you think this proletariat and "oppressed" people are? You? No. You hipsters are the harmful bourjois element. The true ones are rednecks, white trash and ghetto hoodlums. You hipsters may lead the revolution at the initial stage, but they will be the revolutionaries and they will hate you with the strongest class-hate with all your fancy college education and iPhones. Southern rednecks are more likely to form a common bond with ghetto gangs than with "intellectuals". It has been proven many times in many lands where communism was forced, that when class warfare begins the races and nations forget the hate and unite.
So that's what's gonna happen: Someone will knock at the door of your home in your nice middle class gated community. When you open the door you will find commissar Jamal and commissar Cletus, who will tell you that having such a big house for yourself is not what a true communist does a 2 families of hobos are moving in with you. You will be allowed to have 1 room, 1 bed and necessary personal belongings. Everything else in the house will be shared.
The rich guys who's money you were about to redistribute left the country and suddenly you realize, their Swiss bank accounts are unreachable and there is nothing to redistribute. The corporations go bankrupt collapsing the DOW index, which makes the currency just a fancy green paper worth nothing. Then you realize US was importing food, because there wasn't enough to support 300 millions of people. Importing by paying with money, which is now worth nothing. And then there's hunger. And to suppress the hungry angry mob, who don't give a care about high Marxist ideals and just wants to make everything like it was before, Red Terror starts. With the new NKVD and purges. Eventually commissar Jamal will put you on your knees and shot you at the back of your stupid head for not being dedicated enough.
