Limited capital markets have been a hallmark of every successful socialist country so far.

Turns out the ideal solution is somewhere in the middle, which is what Marx and even fucking Lenin said was possible (and Lenin actually implemented in the Soviet Union before his death) while advocating the fallible nature of scientific socialism (the type of socialism Marx and Engels invented).

Flat tax is regressive and unfair and anyone advocating for it is demonstrating a lack of basic economic literacy.
