Who's talking about the Soviet Union? I'm talking about Northern Europe. It's not like there aren't examples of countries with effective social services and very high rates of marginal taxation for the highest brackets.
I recommend visiting Copenhagen, it's amazing. I've seen dozens of people in this thread explain why that type of taxation system can't exist. But I've like actually seen it happen in real life.
On the flip side there are literally zero places with a genuinely limited government where it's safe to be a billionaire.

Those northern European countries no longer have the close to 100% confiscatory tax rates they sometimes had because they end up hurting the country - what they do have are high effective rates that much of the country pays.
