I'm pretty anti-socialist, but if you remove the use of force from socialism then... actually I love it. Assuming a world where you don't coerce anybody or violate their negative rights, then yeah. Let's have fuckin communism baby that sounds wonderful.

Right now the govt uses threat of force to collect taxes. That's already a reality. Those taxes largely distribute wealth *up* (see multi-million dollar Amazon tax rebate and zero liability).
Using those same dollars instead to help the poor is suddenly unacceptable to some?

Ideally that would be the case, though as it stands our inherent selfishness is what makes Capitalism so good.

opt-in communism actually sounds pretty great?
works decently well for open-source stuff, with the important note that code can be replicated infinitely
