TS – “how else is healthcare, education, pensions, infrastructure, etc subsidised and paid for?”
Any Marxist will tell you – from the surplus labour of the worker as per the Labour Theory of Value.
So you seek the same wealth distribution as in Vietnam as positive.
Vietnam had 458 people with a net worth of above $30 million in 2019. The number of ultra-high net worth (UHNWI) individuals in Vietnam is projected to hit 753 by 2024. Vietnam had five billionaires by the end of 2019, with the figure expected to rise to six in 2024.
How do those rich people acquire their wealth?
Again any Marxist will tell you. From the theft of labour of the workers according to the Labour Theory of Value.
