Nope, it's anti-redistribution. The state, through its laws, redistributes capital to the capitalist by subsidizing the costs of property ownership. 

 

are you not calling for  redistribution of wealth in that you want capitalists to have their profits reduced in order to more evenly spread capital to the workers?

"Nope, it's anti-redistribution. The state, through its laws, redistributes capital to the capitalist by subsidizing the costs of property ownership. "

what subsidies are you referring to?

I am calling for whatever distribution occurs in the absence of the state, and I predict that said distribution (due to the actions of the state) would be more beneficial to workers than our current one. In other-words, the state shouldn't redistribute anything.

I'll start with the big subsidy, does the proprietor pay for his own police force and property protection of every factory, apartment complex, hospital, or any other institution he or she owns or does the state through taxation? There are also direct subsidies (the state directly gives money), bailouts, regulatory capture to prevent competition, and a multitude of other state privileges which capitalists enjoy.
