    it’s the system we have and we should use it

    That was Thomas Jefferson’s justification for the continuation of slavery.

    Regulation and heavy taxes

    This assumes a world where regulatory capture is not the default state of things.

    the government can’t seize citizens personal property for no reason and without compensation.

    That “no reason” is extremely vague and allows it to be one of the primary underlying argument against taxes and regulations.

    Disagree with personal property shouldnt exist, but agree that businesses need to have their power and ownership regulated heavily

    But without also limiting the power and ownership of individuals we loop right back to feudalism and the exact issues these systems were designed to solve.

    What is your understanding of what “personal property” is like under some idealistic, utopian communism?
