Yes, that worked out so well in the Weimar Republic and more recently in Zimbabwe. 
“Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some.
The sight of this arbitrary rearrangement of riches strikes not only at security, but at confidence in the equity of the existing distribution of wealth. Those to whom the system brings windfalls, beyond their deserts and even beyond their expectations or desires, become ‘profiteers,’ who are the object of the hatred of the bourgeoisie, whom the inflationism has impoverished, not less than of the proletariat.
As the inflation proceeds and the real value of the currency fluctuates wildly from month to month, all permanent relations between debtors and creditors, which form the ultimate foundation of capitalism, become so utterly disordered as to be almost meaningless; and the process of wealth-getting degenerates into a gamble and a lottery.”
Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.” - J.M. Keynes
Not even the most famous Leftist economic theoretician thinks inflation is a viable solution.
Inflation is the most regressive form of taxation that a government can impose upon it's people. The poor suffer the most as what little they have becomes even less as the value of currency is devalued. It also destroys the middle class for being fiscally sound enough to have some kind of savings, whether it's a savings account in the bank, a 401k, an IRA, or some other form of investment, devaluation of the currency causes their savings to evaporate into thin air. This leaves only the upper classes who, by way of asset diversification and property ownership, can actually go through an inflationary period and come out ahead, or at the very least minimize thier loss.
Inflation is a hideous "cure" far worse than the problem it's meant to solve.
