I think that's more offensive, but I'm not sure it's worse. The soviet union just took property--not such a good result either.

Perhaps, but viewed it in terms of relative power, if the government takes your property, given the size of the government relative to you, the power relationship really is unchanged. OTOH, If the government takes your property and gives it to a private citizen, the marginal power shift is greater.
