It wouldn’t always be the same individuals being successful after you redistributed land and wealth. You seem to think that greed and ruthlessness are the best ways or only ways to be successful. This is not true. People succeed though cooperation. Look for information about the Prisoners Dilemma, which is a thought experiment (and real experiment) about whether success is better achieved by cooperation or by ruthlessness.
I don’t think greed or ruthlessness are ways to be successful at all, rather that they come from gaining success over others and then realizing you have people by their short hairs and can yank them in any direction you choose. That what oil companies do to us all year long, and most other companies as well. But I had control of a company, you’d better believe I’d be as ruthless as possible in making people miserable and having them pay through their nose for any product I might make.
