I think the best application of socialistic thought is taking the current system and simply increasing taxes by a significant portion. The government with it's current bureaucracy, little Weber style bureaucracy creep - if that is possible, will takes these taxes and redistribute them equally to people with social programs. Free college, year long maternity leave, longer required vacations, welfare, arts funding, ect are all ways in which the money could be spent. With this system you have all of the economic benefits of capitalism with the social benefits of socialism. This is the wealth re-distribution that "the revolution" seeks but with no social up-heaval or deaths.
