I was thinking, maybe the problem of redistribution is truly more of a technical problem rather than a philosophical problem.

In other words, wealth is centralized because technically speaking, there simple haven't been other models that made it more decentralized.

I mean, in pratice, for wealth to be truly decentralized (or more redistributed) there will have to be more non-zero sum games/systems (markets, companies, countries, etc, etc) where everybody wins. And that's not a trivial job. It's inherently complex, because true value is inherently complex. And as we know Bitcoin is clearly one of those systems/games.

Bitcoin is a non zero sum game where EVERYBODY wins. The wealthy and the poor. That's truly absolutely incredible.

And definitely not trivial. There's many other of course, but Bitcoin is currently one of purest forms of those systems. It's a phenomenal investment.

wealth does not need to be decentralized. It simply needs to flow from net consumers to net producers. That way, those who serve society are rewarded and those who predate upon it are punished.

Bitcoin facilitates this by preventing the most powerful people, who are the biggest net consumers on Earth, from stealing the wealth from the net producers.

"Fair money" does not mean everyone has a bunch of it. Fair money means it flows to those who provide goods and services that society wants, and flows away from those who do not.

Sure, flowing and being decentralized is the same thing in this case in my perspective.

Bitcoin might become the best property in the world and thus become the only real flowing channel we need. But that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be other flowing channels.

Because to your point, one of the challenges is defining who's the producer and the consumer. It always was and always will be.

In other words, I think the company model will also evolve. Ownership models will probably evolve everywhere. It seems inevitable. And I believe that just like Bitcoin the most win-win-win ownership model will win. Bitcoin is a non-zero sum game. Thinking in producer vs consumer is a kind of a zero sum game. The non-zero sum games will always be better than zero sum games. In other words, the win win win model.
