...Well...it certainly has been done before.
But the 2nd part of your answer is where you go a little off. It was done in the United States before the creation of the Federal Reserve and the adoption of the federal income tax under Woodrow Wilson's "progressive" administration. Also happened to coincide with banking/corporate domination of the US government. Coincidence?
Unless you consider a more decentralized, republican (small "r"), and more relatively free and egalitarian society to be "totalitarian", I would have to disagree.
huh?, what in the world ?? ... and how did you come up with this nonsense ???
the Federal Reserve and its practices have NEVER been removed from the system since its inception.
where do you get "it certainly has been done before" ????
link please
Communism is not equal to or a result of eliminating the masters you serve today ~ ie ... the Federal Reserve
not every path leads to communism, why would you think it must?
the US government was not established to "collect taxes".
ah geeeez, if you're gonna tell the story, please get it right ... try this ... Woodrow signed the FR into existence
Also happened to coincide with banking/corporate domination of the US government.
you sure about that ??
might wanna check out JPMorgans influence some 50yrs earlier and few others along the way.
start at the link above and get back to us with some correct input, eh?
... a decentralized central bank that balanced the competing interests of private banks and populist sentiment.

From December 1912 to December 1913, the Glass-Willis proposal was hotly debated, molded and reshaped. By December 23, 1913, when President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law, it stood as a classic example of compromise—a decentralized central bank that balanced the competing interests of private banks and populist sentiment.
i cannot wholly agree with this statement (for the most part it's correct tho) but after you understand the system better, perhaps you're opinion will adjust accordingly.
The taxation of labor to fund a fiat leveraged (Fake) money system that benifits those who inheirit thier wealth is just plain wrong.
