>>2762201People's "needs" are malleable and subject to what you put in front of their faces. Look at Amerikkka, people can't afford shit and just go into make believe debt that's unenforceable but they do the jam boy GrubHub wagie dance anyway.
People will cry and complain but only the elect actually pickup a rifle when their needs are not met. You put the riflemen in the party. They may not be autistic enough to come up with numbers, but they'll gladly cooperate and fix the prices by force or by word of mouth.
I personally would base an economy off of degenerate hyper consumables such as drugs, alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and lottery. You might be thinking "isn't that just America?" But quite the opposite. America crushes hope and keeps it's golems in total despair shaming them for finding solace in consumables and violence. A well satisfied populace, not that they deserve it. But I'm a kind man who would do it for all the little boys and girls who would grow up more like me and my wife. Maybe…if they have a high enough autism score they probably won't.
But either way, in principle it would be the exact opposite of the monolithic torture chamber that is western standards. You can charge whatever you like and just fucking lie to people why it's so much and what you're actually producing. Whose gonna know? As long as you're not doing anything too retarded to get bombed by other nations, you're doing just fine. Just good enough. It's pragmatic too, not utopian socialism.
You'll still find something to bitch about. You're not in the party. You'd rather be a cuck doing what you're doing now. You own nothing, and you're still not happy.
