I did not say that socialism will help workers or not

Why avoid the obvious question?

What I said us that the dislocation and suffering caused by policy favoring the wealthiest might result in a socialist reaction.

Oops, too late. You just answered.

If the rich in Russia were more willing to support the land reform ie redistribution of property directed at creating the independent and prosperous farmers, very likely the Bolsheviks would not win

Are you saying that we need to adopt more aggressive policies forcing the redistribution of wealth to successfully avoid the inevitable proletariat revolution?

Is it your belief that freer trade causes wealth to accumulate in fewer hands? Or, do you think that additional government regulation, advocated by elitists to protect their interests, is more responsible for wealth creation being limited to the few who happen to be well connected?

The redistribution of wealth was the key method of keeping Western democracies safe and stable.
