I think you use the term socialism wrong. Socialism means the workplace is owned by workers in some fashon. What you talk about are Statist policys. They are often confused because what people often mean when they say Socialism/Communism is State Socialism USSR style.

I agree that we need to throw away this rules and lot of burocracy. I think the BGK is a nice system if you want to have a social system and a pension system without giving the government real controll of the people (Gov. part of GDP would rise but the controll would be a lot less).

Taxation needs to be simpler, the current system is all about spezial intresst. Its a difficuled field but there are many ideas.
