    The Soviets tried that and it is the root cause of some of the most serious famines ever seen.

    What are you talking about? There was one famine, and it happened near the beginning of the Soviet Union’s history, after a civil war. And this was a country where for centuries under tsarist rule famines had been a common occurrence. What the Soviet Union did was end famines.

    Government, by its nature, is an inefficiency engine.

    This sounds like neoliberal Road to Serfdom nonsense. Inefficient compared to what, the invisible hand?

    This increases that and will cause more inequality not less.

    Again, what are you talking about? Inequality in Russia has risen since the fall of the Soviet Union. Have you forgotten about shock therapy already?
