For those who are sympathetic to this idea, look no further than China. They have a very good system (superior to US-style taxes) for ensuring that no one gets “too rich” and that excess returns are captured and redistributed “fairly”
I don't think the alternative that solves these issues is to go full communist dictatorship. Just get a better educated society that understands that value creation should be rewarded and where people ask for their fair share of it (as well as understand that your employees should ask for it and get it)
