Do command economies promote income equalizations and universal social services?

[Stripes]

If so, can you explain briefly about how they provide for these services. Thanks!

They do--that's why they are a bad thing.

They penalize (tax) productive people to reward unproductive people, so the economy becomes less and less productive. On a broader scale, they destroy the free market by making decisions that should be made by free people "voting" with their dollars.
