how do we know what to redistribute? just the means of production? what if someone has two houses? or two cars? where do we draw the line

I guess that line depends on the overall living standards of the country in question. But I would advocate that we should ensure everyone has a good standard of living before every worker gets his own personal holiday home (even that idea sounds a bit wasteful to me).

When it comes to production in a planned economy, I'd want to see agriculture, construction and transportation given the most weight. But I think we also need to be careful that we don't make socialism all work and no fun.

It would probably be different for each region but I think a careful examination by the community of the demographics and economic statistics will help us to properly create a politically and economically egalitarian society.
