Of course, since communism is about to socialize all the wealth. There is no taxes if there is no individual wealth or income.
But socialism is about taxes. It is about socializing more or less wealth by taking it from people who creates it. It is a soft form and a step toward extreme communism. Taxes is a tool.
Yep, I know all that. Taxes are merely a tool within an arsenal of many tools employed to enforce the ideology. Socialism is a form of communism, which is an ideology, not a tax.
The communist ideology presents a top-down hierarchical social structure, although its practitioners deny the hierarchy. They use all means necessary to enforce compliance, including taxation, during the fascist and socialist phases of the march toward full communism. But taxation in and of itself certainly doesn’t fulfill all the demands for eventually achieving a communist state.
