Nationalizing the economy usually leads to lots of dead people anyway. Of starvation, if history is any guide.

  It's up to the people of a democratic country to decide if they want to try. Overthrowing the government because it may potentially go that way it's not what the West nominally defend as their values. Chile of Allende may actually have had a chance to avoid that destiny had not it been for US actively destroying their economy; they were for once trying modern social and economic projects based on scientific models that might have made a difference, but that was thrown away with the dictatorship.

    30% of the country to not get to grab the property of everyone, the suggestion is a bit repulsive and anti-democratic. Democracy exists precisely to protect minorities, not to have aa 50%+1 majority mob rule. Allende and the other Communist/Anarchists (often Soviet backed) are among the worst people in history, causing mass death and harm on a scale never seen before under the guise of their deluded egos, and it continues to this day. Allende would have created something akin to Venezuela or Cuba, thankfully he was thwarted, unfortunately, it came at a cost.
