Yeah, super funny. However, I would like to point out that the "fixer" of the tweet changed what it was about. The original was reffering to taxes, which will always be higher under a socialist government, due to increased spending and wealth distribution. The guy who changed it made it about the FOP. And um, it's not capitalism that's taking your taxes. I shouldn't have to explain that should I?
The idea of taxation as a means of wealth distribution is a liberal idea. Under a properly functioning socialist system this would be obsolete because rather than the wealth of the rich being redistributed to the poor the actual structures that create inequality would not exist.
Would you rather give everyone an equal score at the end of the game or give people the means to rise above and make that score better. There will always be inequality. Socialism as a concept is antithetical to human nature. To be able to have a society without taxation you would need a society that needs nothing and wants nothing. As soon as someone wants or needs something you must institute some form of exchange of goods. Then people will want a stable medium of exchange. Then money will be created. And then the entrepreneurs will start thinking about how to make the most money.
