I'm not gonna bother with that, I'll explain my ideal economic situation

2019-11-26 05:43:33 UTC  

im not going to argue

2019-11-26 05:43:40 UTC  

i want to genuinely understand what a command economy is

2019-11-26 05:43:41 UTC  

As for command economy

2019-11-26 05:43:52 UTC  

because i dont understand it, admittedly

2019-11-26 05:44:20 UTC  

Command Economy in the most simple terms possible is where the state (or other authority) dictates what needs to be produced, or it sets goals that need to be met

2019-11-26 05:44:33 UTC  

and how does it determine that

2019-11-26 05:44:39 UTC  

also isnt that state capitalism?

2019-11-26 05:45:01 UTC  

Command Economy does not equal communism or capitalism or anything like that

2019-11-26 05:45:28 UTC  

It determines that in a plethora of factors

2019-11-26 05:45:29 UTC  

but a communist would call it state capitalism
and a capitalist would call it state socialism

2019-11-26 05:45:52 UTC  

Like shortages, surpluses, International affairs, domestic needs, trade, inflation/deflation, etc etc

2019-11-26 05:46:00 UTC  

ok

2019-11-26 05:46:09 UTC  

It's not state capitalism

2019-11-26 05:46:23 UTC  

wasnt that the USSR, and didn't they fail to give even basic appliances to their people

2019-11-26 05:46:25 UTC  

State capitalism implies private entities

2019-11-26 05:46:28 UTC  

like fridges, toasters etc.

2019-11-26 05:46:37 UTC  

In a command economy, it cns be either state owned companies or private companies

2019-11-26 05:46:49 UTC  

Not exclusively one or the other

2019-11-26 05:46:58 UTC  

so a command economy

2019-11-26 05:47:03 UTC  

is both private & public entities

2019-11-26 05:47:06 UTC  

No

2019-11-26 05:47:11 UTC  

It can be either

2019-11-26 05:47:20 UTC  

It dosent matter

2019-11-26 05:47:48 UTC  

this is socialism

2019-11-26 05:47:53 UTC  

command economy/planned economy

2019-11-26 05:47:57 UTC  

is the model used for socialism

2019-11-26 05:48:12 UTC  

Not entirely correct

2019-11-26 05:48:29 UTC  

It is the model used for socialism, but it is not in of itself socialism

2019-11-26 05:48:40 UTC  

so what is in and of itself socialism

2019-11-26 05:49:02 UTC  

No private ownership of business

2019-11-26 05:49:20 UTC  

afaik the USSR had no private business

2019-11-26 05:49:26 UTC  

Mhm

2019-11-26 05:50:10 UTC  

what do you think about dirigisme

2019-11-26 05:50:21 UTC  

Not faimilar with whatever it is

2019-11-26 05:50:39 UTC  

also what is the difference between

2019-11-26 05:50:47 UTC  

market socialism & state socialism?

2019-11-26 05:50:59 UTC  

im assuming state socialism is a planned economy with no private business

2019-11-26 05:51:08 UTC  

and market socialism is a planned economy with private business

2019-11-26 05:51:14 UTC  

Not bad idea
