What is he holding? Looks like a rubber bouncy ball.

command economies are good
consumer choice and innovation are reactionary
uniformity is good and incentives aren't needed
fuck human nature
not an argument

PrimCom and gift economy is the human baseline. Capitalism is an unnatural relatively recent aberration.

>command economies are good
Yes
>consumer choice and innovation are reactionary
Both existed in command and free market economies just from different sources and manifestations
>uniformity is good and incentives aren't needed
Uniformity exists in a spectrum, it is not an absolute ideal. Incentives are unavoidable.
>fuck human nature
can't escape human nature
>not an argument
agreed because it is wrong. Absolute power cannot be seduced since it has absolute power to get what it wants without compromise.

Command economies are a bizarre fetish totally unnecessary for social ownership of the MOP but unkillable because they appeal to something in the psychology of LARPers

>>2897110
They are more democratic

>>2897111
They are not automatically any more democratic. It is entirely possible for planners to not know or not care for public wishes, or to convince themselves that the public are being unreasonable, or to play internal factional games to the detriment of the public good. This is and has already proven common in nationalised industries, it is was common in the USSR, and it would be common in whatever wishful thinking fantasy you care to draw up were it ever to be implemented. Ol

Real democratic accountability is only really possible at the local level.

I do, because i have a gun. Now hand me my property, my property!

Agreed except for
>uniformity is good
Try living in it. It sucks ass. People just get nostalgic for conformism because they never had to deal with it. People rebel against it for a reason

>>2897143
If you break with that you break with the rest, logically.
To not confirm is to do things differently. How does one attune a command economy to 7 billion individual wants and desires, all out of conformity with one another? The obvious answer is consumer choice even within the command framework, but you accept this to be reactionary. I suppose one could randomly allocate everyone random goods, then allow them to trade them at will…

>>2897111
The ideal is closer to the Paris commune and Marx laid out for Germany

>>2897185
socialism is everything and nothing at the same time. The term has become butchered

> randomly allocate everyone random goods, then allow them to trade them at will
People will view that as a burden and hate it overnight.

>>2897136
>the public are being unreasonable
you can thank Freud's nephew on how to deal with that.
