- atq2119 7y agoHeck, almost everything anybody does related to the economic sphere is wealth (re)distribution. Property rights are wealth redistribution away from the commons and towards a relatively small number of individuals. Does that make them bad? Well, I'd say maybe, it depends on the details... We need to work against the effectiveness of this rhetoric trick where only some things are labelled "redistribution" to show them in a negative light.
