Article 106 of the german Grundgesetz/constitution states that in Germany there is an ownership tax. It was used until 1997 when the former practice was ruled unlawful, but no adopted form of collection was introduced, while the government still has the right to collect ownership tax. There is an ongoing debate about reinstating the collection. AFAIK, France is currently collecting ownership tax. The USSR and North Korea suck because they are autocratic, corrupted regimes, not because of single aspects of how they run their economies. But even beside specific examples, if we decide that it is a good thing, then we can introduce new law.
