re: #655 000G

Or, to put it another way, here’s your objection in a slightly more meaningful form:

While Marx did condemn all aspects of the capitalist system, he saw heavy progressive taxation as being part of the means by which the proletariat could amass control and move towards a communist society. So whether or not Marx would have condemned a specific progressive taxation would have depended on the historical situation at the time.

Not as snappy, of course.
