communist policies
Centralized economic control
Communist policies are government measures aligned with communist ideology—typically including state ownership of major industries, central economic planning, redistribution of wealth, and elimination of private property.
The phrase often carries critical connotations, used by opponents to characterize policies they view as excessively collectivist: Critics called the healthcare proposal communist policies in disguise.
What counts as "communist" varies wildly depending on the speaker's politics.
