  Elaborate with an example of how exactly that would work for a country of 340 million people.

    What difference would population make? Decentralization can exist in a planned economy to adapt to locales

      So your solution is to hand everything over to the government and allow them to control the labor, the profit, and the wealth of over 340 million people without first having any understanding whatsoever about how a system such as that would be stressed under the weight of such a population?

      I’ll add that there exists no government on the planet that could be trusted to do something like that without exploiting the populace- as none have done so to date.

      You clearly haven’t thought this through.

        Your condescending tone shows you already know it all and have your mind made up so I don’t really see where this debate can go anymore that is constructive. Take that how you will, I don’t really care

      Ah yes having to lick the boot of an autocrat with no freedom to dissent. That sure sounds like working to me.
