No one is suggesting taking the means of production and distributing it to the proletariat, so no you won't. It is literally impossible to get to Marxist communism through taxation. Communism is much more than simple wealth redistribution. It's about collective power and collection ownership of the means of economic growth. Progressive taxation is absolutely not that unless maybe it's a 100% or higher ... but that kind of ceases to be a tax and starts looking a lot like the state seizing people's property.
