Between taxing the wealthy, nationalisation of key companies and assets, and this, seems like they had some really good policies back then.

If you don't have the right to price gouge, how long until the government steals all your other liberties?

Sure, you'll enjoy a higher quality of life. But is it really worth it, knowing that the mega-wealthy will suffer?
