The issue isn't logic. It's in worldview.

If you're more left wing, you probably view the state as a parent who can be trusted to confiscate and dole things out fairly.

If you're right wing you probably view the state as a necessary evil for providing specific services that can't be provided fairly purely through people making agreements with each other.

If you're the former, you may well think that the state seizing property in the name of redistribution will solve more problems than it causes. If you're the latter, it's the other way round.
