Redistribution

[Pogue]

Still not sure - when the 'revolution', in what ever sense, comes about, how do we ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY get wealth from the hands of few to many. Like, as my example goes, the millions of a footballer to the street clearner. The actual material houses and cars etc. On a global scale too. Like getting wealth to poor regions of Africa, Asia etc.
I'm very very eager to get that power, wealth and privilige from the few to the many :)

Two things will happen at the same time.

1.) The means of production will be owned collectively through the state leading to redistribution of wealth as it is created.

and very much related to that

2.) the seizure of private property from the bourgeoisie.

Ah, so there is seizure, goodie. But bourgeoisie as i think you yourself has said does not include footballers, musicians, etc, so what of them and their wealth?
Because I see them as 'class' enemies as much as the rich employer.

It's a good question but we can only speculate at this point. The only thing we know for sure it that as drosera99 said the means of production will be owned collectively. See you there!

A revolution will physically change things using similar steps that we use to get towards it. Utilizing direct action we take control of the means of production and put them under worker management with production coordinated through community input. Then we would confiscate most of the personal property of the ownership class and figure out what we want to do with it. I'm personally in favor of turning churches into sexual and reproductive health clinics. :laugh:

Why the obsession with football players?

And by "musicians" I assume you mean wealthy ones? I know a lot of Communists who play music!

They are not technically part of the Bourgeoisie, no. And just being wealthy does not make you such. They are, in the overall scheme of things, completely irrelevant insofar as they represent a tiny section of the economy. They will no longer own the rights to their music. Perhaps their land will be seized and expropriated. They will earn the same as everyone else during Socialism. These are decisions that we can't make in advance! These are things that will be decided then and there.
