The secret to it is that the Democrats only intend to "confiscate" enough to Kickstart the entire process all over again.

Considering how badly the full confiscation has worked elsewhere, I'm OK with that.  The vast majority only want to live comfortably, raise their children and participate in social life they deem valuable. They simply don't have any interest in being part of the collective, any more than they wanted total freedom with the responsible for everything in their lives.  Neither extreme has a huge following, so some in-between option will prevail.  It's the job of all of us to build safeguards that prevent the hyper-acquisitive from taking too much in the future.  I doubt that will happen, so the cycle continues.
