A ruling class will come out no matter what. Who "redistributes" the wealth? even the most passionate advocates of this form have recognized this and now propose an overruling "AI" and the postponing of this organisation until we can have a "fair AI", Can you predict how even that form will go?
And what's more important it does not change the equation that if my contribution results in the same reward as the person X contribution why should I strive to contribute more? It's the inevitable race to the least effort possible that is the doom of Marxist theories.
If they say to you "Max you can achieve is X because that is the "Equality" of this society and you achieve X with Effort 2 you will not give effort 10.

The nature of the reward matters, not everything is about wealth and money. Many geniuses are still willingly working in public labs for a fraction of what they'd earn in a corporate or startup.

Wealth is way more complex than 'take home money'. Geniuses in developed countries with highly functional infrastructure and high expectations of security are willing to forego cash income to work on ideals.

wealth "redistribution" only makes sense when property is protected a priori.
how do you "redistribute" wikipedia, creative commons, public domain, F/LOSS software? are all these domains a "race to the bottom of effort?"
you don't need to, it's already collectively publicly owned.
your perspective is terribly closed-minded. spend more time imagining something else other than assuming the predominant ideology is all that will ever exist and appealing to some fake "natural" order.
