Another Libertarian Socialist here.

Socialism is not about redistribution of wealth, it's about redistribution of power. Redistribution of wealth happens in capitalism all the time. The reason is because it doesn't make the rich less powerful.

The thing about a revolution is control over production. If people don't manage and own their own place of work, then your revolution will fail (see every state-socialist revolution).

It appears to me that the most advanced large range application of socialism was the short lived anarchist revolution in Spain. And that happened because of managing reasons, not currency distribution.
