And china

They where reall inefficient at laying track that would bring resources where they needed to go

hell still are in places like laos, and cambodia

Nvm @Goblin_Slayer_Floki i misunderstood you

Of course but take into account the incredible difficult russian environement.

Yes but they have no indicators for how to efficently move and allocate resourses

Sobthey had a lot of waste

Production is a good indicator

Overbuilding and underbuilding

Units produced by time and consuption

Labor theory of value?

Overbuilding was certaiy an issue because of the terrible bureaucracy

^^^

This os true

But how else can you have government?

Decentralisation

The soviets did not have an answer for this

Smaller communities in charge of local production

Ahhhh but thatvis a problem when your bread basket areas are needed to feed eveyone

The crimea and unkraine areas priduced most of the grain

Each area makes a count of what it makes and what it needs, and they intertrade. Basic Ricardian economics

And if you cannot distribute efficiently enought people starve

But that does not help when you do not have the transport to get the grain where it need to go

Siberia for example

Thats where the central state steps in

tribalism

Yes and look at how well of a job they did

Or regionalism

did well for germany

As well since they only care about their local groups. Then national defense is out

Just a bunch of fiefdom armies

National defence would be task for the central state

They needed to eat something

So people it was

There wouldnt be one. As they would be to busy with their small fiefs and not care about the central state. As well a central state would nullify communism and breed another stalin, mao, or pol pot

Basically the state would take care of infrastructure, defence, justice and police, and thr regions of production

Stalin existed because he was nessesary

Not very marxist

And again the central being in charge of the defense and infrastructure just means an opening for human nature to want more

Critical theory goes out the window when you have to fight to exist
