I think you are confusing "give everyone the same income" with "give everyone a basic income". Basic income is a floor, not a ceiling. It doesn't change much about the wealth distribution (except at the bottom).

USSR had more of the floor as well, it still had a large inequality. You could get much more resources (though not monies) if you chose to become a party bureaucrat.
