A. When you die more of your money goes to the government.

B. More of that tax money goes to providing a free education.

And C. Private schools are abolished giving everyone a relatively equal chance in life. If rich people wish to improve their child's education they may donate to their local state school instead of squandering money into old, out of date institutions.

Is that not only fair but possible. People still earn money and can become rich but it is by their own individual merit and not by their birth.

Private schooling should still be a possibility. People learn in vastly different ways and at different rates. Schooling should account for that.

Honestly, simply making community college free is entirely possible with a change in taxation at all. We just need to ditch unnecessary military projects.

Except for the free college, I personally think you should work hard to get into a good college. But don't get me wrong I think it would be awesome for everything to be free but the problem is the world doesn't work that way.

Tuition-free community college is far from not working hard. It's only the first step. At this point, to be able to advance in social status at all is with a college degree. Community college is an easy way to get one, but there's still so much room to do better, plus it's simple for the government to be able to afford it. It's not at all making things perfectly equal: that creates a lack of incentive. It's just allowing social mobility to become a thing once more, and raising up those at the bottom to a liveable condition.
