There is no way of redistributing those resources but violence if there is no economy.

Say, you have 98 people who have literally nothing and no established way to obtain basic needs, and 2 people who has something based on whatever.

Say, these 2 people can close their needs by asking a magic machine to do something for them, or even exchange some goods between each other, but there is no economic sense to hire anybody.

Those 98 left aren't going to sit and die, watching.
