Actually, while a violent revolution would possibly succeed in temporarily shifting wealth around, only a change in people's ideology could sustain it. As long as people buy the two big lies of civilization: (1) some folks are better/more deserving than others and (2) possessions and power are the purpose of life, there will never be an equal distribution of anything EXCEPT misery!
