    The biggest selling point for a command economy is literally the housing crisis.

    goku-halal: “Can someone care to explain to me why we have a ‘housing shortage’ and rampant homeless problem yet as far as commodities go, housing is one of the most in-demand products? What do you mean market forces are stopping construction companies from making a killing and also lowering housing costs for everyone this should be a labor and capital win-win!”

    How is the housing crisis real? Just plan your economy lmao.

      We already live in a planned economy (the free-market absolutists will tell you all about government interventions in the housing market). In fact, pretty much all modern large scale industry runs on the principles of planned economy. The problem is that the economy is planned by the capitalists and their lackeys. What we need is nationalization.
