If physical assets (land, gold bars) are not redistributed under Fununism, then what stops a new aggregation of wealth?

Otherwise, how would you redistribute the assets? Gold bars can be shipped, but land ownership is difficult. For example, would a random illiterate from a developing nation be assigned ownership of a Manhattan skyscraper? One could imagine a system of guardianship in place to steward the property, but that system would enable a new aggregation of wealth through fees.

It seems to me that your proposal would be an extremely efficient way for a small group of people to rapidly consolidate wealth.

Sounds like capitalism.
