It would be excellent if there was a social structure that did not steal the value of people’s labor.

matthew - retroedge.tech (nprofile…tmcn) If tax policy is decided democratically, people will happily consent to sharing the surplus value of their labor with the government, thus it is not stealing.

In any socilaist system, the law must be decided democratically, that includes tax policy. Informed citizens usually agree that it is in their interest to have a pool of tax money collected for things like public infrastructure, civil defense, education, scientific research, the arts, etc., once the budget is decided, through voting they can come to an agreement on how much citizens should to pay in taxes, whether or not tax policy should be progressive (i.e. people with more wealth should pay higher percentages), whether or not there should be a maximum amount of wealth to prevent oligarchies from forming, and so on.
