The crazy libertarian is resorting to payments in kind. I guess the next step for him will be building a barter economy and having taxes payable in corvée labor.
Based on commentary I’ve heard from communists way more well read than me I’d say no, though it was what I thought of immediately when I heard of bringing back payment in kind.
My imagination is informed that way based on reading of stuff in the Middle Ages like the Byzantines having a flexible tax policy after conquering Bulgaria, with the allowance of payment in kind.

maybe Yanis Varoufakis really is onto something with his “Technofeudalism” book
