    Your question is just weird. Communists failed in general.

    I am aware of Nikola’s supposed love affair with a pigeon. I made the goose joke to lighten the mood.

    It’s pretty obvious that my handle is a reference to the scientist - how the fuck can a person be a disciple of a car??

      If you can’t point to specific instances of failure you should reconsider your stance until you’ve got the specific instance (really more than one instance). For example its well known that the planned economy lead to mass starvation is well considered a failure of communism. Not being able to point at even one specific failure of communism with respect to taxation is not very convincing when it comes to winning people over to your argument that Avi’s proposal to raise money via wealth tax “is communism”.

      Am I the only person in this comment section that understood you to be a car deciple?
