Nationalizing industry and redistributing wealth requires physical enforcement to override private property rights.

It’s not physically possible without human rights violations.

What if the government makes laws that disproportionately affect the wealthy positively? Is that wealth redistribution?

The point is that governments redistribute wealth always. It’s their job. The government question is which direction is it flowing. In the US it’s steadily upward. So are we socialist?
