I see a lot of complaining from small companies and startups. The taxing system is slowly becoming communism (I have no better word). And they also are stopping farming, based on bad ideas.
I tried to get into fundamental research, but disliked the burocratic approach in Dutch universities.
You don't really pay tax in a communist system. No need if the state pays all salaries. China first got a tax law in 1980 as part of Xiaoping's modernization of the Chinese economy and the opening up for the private market.
The taxing system becoming communism? I think you may need to recalibrate that a bit. https://factually.co/fact-checks/politics/democratic-sociali...
