So what’s your alternative? I’ve lived in planned economy during the socialist era, and it wasn’t exactly great. You had to have friends telling you when shipments of toilet paper or food would arrive and make it early to the shop - otherwise you got nothing, because someone in the central planning office fucked up again.

The alternative is a cooperation based economy, rather than a competition based one.
You know, like how the very basics of society work. After all, without cooperation society would never exist.
For the record, when and where?
Hungary, back in the Kádár era. According to my parents, it was way worse before, back in the Rákosi days.
This is a false dichotomy. Also, in the case you haven’t noticed, this sub is part of a solarpunk server. We want solarpunk :)
