That was entertaining reading. Marxism equals slavery. The higher the overall tax rate the closer to Marxism the society is. 100% confiscation of property to the new rich class (the government and incompetent high party leaders)instead of private individuals putting their own high risk capital on the line each and everyday. Yes in the Marxist system you get housing, food, and other rationed items..but in the end EVERYBODY is poor and the quality of the goods is poor because there is absolutely no efficient market to force "business" entitities to be efficient. If we had Marxism here, we would still be producing 1920's model cars and tractors in order to protect people's jobs who don't know how to do anything except make 1920s style cars and tractors. Who in the hell is motivated to work hard and be innovative and creative and productive if there are no efficient market forces to make you do it lest you go broke?
