How educated are you on this topic if you thought socialism was taxes? Can you really hold this position? You need to educate yourself on history instead of arguing from ignorance.
Administration is labor. It’s work that needs to be done. None of the administrative functions in communisn are unaccountable. All electeds are subject to recall. Hell, the USSR’s constitution established the full legal right of every member state to secede from the union on the basis that it’s not freedom if you can’t choose to walk away.
In Cuba the amount of democracy is just incredible, with workers groups, local political groups, and the participatory boards that deal with specific local issues. China is the same way. The USSR was the same way.
Just read about this stuff and you’ll see you’ve been taught a bunch of very shallow lies your whole life and basic research about the actual workings of these countries cuts through those lies quickly.
The one trick we all have to deal with in our research is the problem with the USSR. Kruschev oversaw the slow dismantling of communist principles in favor of liberalization that allowed for exactly what you’re talking about - accumulating power and wealth, which is what led to the USSR abandoning communism all together, dissolving itself, and creating the liberal capitalist Russian Federation that exists today. It was, in fact, becoming more like the West economically and ideologically that resulted in wealth accumulation like the West, which when framed that way, is totally unsurprising. We just need to get past the propaganda.
Remember, the West oversees the worst wealth inequality, the worst dynasties, the worst atrocities, and the worst military invasions in all history, so anytime they say “communism results in wealth hoarding by the few” they are projecting their own outcomes on their ideological enemy and hoping you fall for it
