We already "confiscate others' wealth." It's called taxation. There's nothing new or wrong with it.

Countries with higher and progressive tax rates have better success in all of these issues.

what a "wonderful" principle, in the spirit of "people are already being raped, carry on, there's nothing wrong to see here"
I mean the politicians would love this because they understand it is not about owning things but about having control. And then they could control the most.
The scary part to me is the amount of people who think this same way as you.
If we as humanity just confiscate others wealth, then the world will be better. Forgetting there has to be those in charge of confiscating it.
No, the problems in our society will not be solved that way. People get a president like trump because they deserved it, and then they got a president like Biden, because the people still haven’t learned and still get what th wet deserve.
