They aren't taking ALL of it,tho. And you have the means to make more. It's not socialism til you have nothing. So you might want to start fighting while you still have something left.

So didnt soviet russia.

you have the means to make more.

So they can take more.

It's not socialism til you have nothing.

And it's not capitalism til you can keep everything.

Lets agree that every single economy has elements of both socialism and capitalism, and differ by the amount of each.

No,Russia took it all. There was nothing for anyone but the elites. And no,just because a government collects taxes doesn't mean it's socialist since pretty much all governments collect taxes. What makes it socialism is when they take everything. The elements of socialism in a government push towards that end.
