You can’t reorder society to benefit the “lowest wrung[sic]” without planning at least some extent of the economy through directed means. Yes yes, there’s a bunch of variations of this but they’re just window dressing for the underlying ideology, usually to make it more palatable for the less bureaucratically natured among us.

We had taxes for a long time before socialism. And we obviously need taxes. But a long-term criticism of the welfare state has been that it co-opted taxes from being a means to fund public services to a means to reward/rebalance/rework society towards politically favoured groups.
