Well, this has been already tried in my country, and been survived, but yours may possibly indeed have it in the future.

So how big a body pile are you gonna tolerate?

You don't just get to send men with guns to take large chunks of peoples wealth without dire social and economic consequences. To believe otherwise is pure fantasy.

Dire economic and social consequences clearly do not discourage authorities from sending men with guns (and threats thereof) to confiscate people's wealth. It happens all over the globe, frequently, and with large magnitude, both 3rd and 1st world and and with the full support of nearly all of the public.

In many places in the US we have government officials who decide who gets to live in which house and how much they will pay for rent. Tenants are part owners in properties, sometimes majority owners.

Zimbabwe sent men with guns to take the land of evil white farmers exploiting hundreds of thousands of black farm workers. (this is sarcasm). They lost their agriculture sector, became dependent on food imports without having any export sector (like oil) which ultimately lead to starvation and then finally hyperinflation as the government was no longer able to pay for the imported food.

Is that solution you prefer, or are you just answering with what you think gregallan's intentions were?

I'm not endorsing that solution, only pointing out how such "alloc[ation]" could take place.

Would take place, government always eventually sends guys with guns

Fair enough.
