Your reply got me thinking about some variants of market socialism I read about in undergrad, the names of which I can’t recall.

Generally speaking, artificial scarcity in its myriad variations would be abolished in sectors of the economy that are directly tied to housing, food, non-cosmetic medicine, and other categories directly encompassing the UN declaration of human rights.

Said abolishments, legislative, executive, and judicial purview of the sectors in question would be decided by direct referendum votes of the citizenry, instead of representative vote. Representative legislature would be voted in a ranked-choice format instead of “winner-takes-all” balloting.
