Aside from you, I guess, and a tiny minority of other people who have a very optimistic view of what would result, absolutely no one wants a true socialist regime of the type you seem to favour (wherein people get taxed up to 90% of their income because people don't really need more money than that anyway). The upheaval that could result is impossible to fathom or predict. Speculating about what the results might be is pointless. So I don't think it's worth discussing.

Again ignoring that the 90% comment was an admittedly extreme response to an equally extreme notion and I agree it's not worth discussing. Which I'm pretty sure has been said in every post I've made here.
You don't think it's worth discussing the methods of Germany. Sweden, Denmark, etc? Nations that provide things like universal post secondary, expanded health care, etc and regularly top livability indexes. Why is looking to emulate what they do not worth discussing?
