    Again I realize I'm being pedantic but I don't think that's realistic considering how complicated today's economy is. Immediately expropriating everything from day 1 would likely result in a certain degree of economic disarray simply because the market mechanisms the whole world is built on are fucking stupid.

    It'd probably be like a year before all everything is formally expropriated.

    You won't get a 100% spanking brand new state with no historical baggage on day 1 of the revolution, that's my only point.

        It'd probably be a combination of taxation and nationalization IMO, but I wouldn't completely disregard taxation as a valid mechanism for achieving revolutionary goals just because it's usually framed as a lib tactic.

            Sure, but to be fair although GSYBE didn't really specify any details they did say "tax the rich until they're impoverished" which sounds pretty revolutiony to me.
