      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

              Theirs is no condescension in my tone because there Is no “tone” in written word.

              I simply asked you a question you refused to answer, and then I refuted your reasoning for not answering.

              And it’s not a debate unless you participate.

              Next time, answer a question when asked. Take it as a prompt for you to sell your idea on someone who is looking to you for an answer.

                    I’m not going to waste my time with someone when I can tell they aren’t asking me something in good faith. You don’t genuinely seem to be interested in what I have to say, you seem interested in trying to one up me so you can feel a sense of superiority and be petty and pretentious about it. It’s the equivalent of having a conversation with a brick wall and just a waste of time. I actually don’t owe you an answer whatsoever, I’m free to express my distaste for capitalism

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