Anyone else remember learning about the "Five Year Plans" of the old Soviet Union?
- whataboutismst 4y agoYes and, unfortunately, conversation around these issues always falls into the Communism vs. Capatalism line of debate rather than ossification of systems consolidation of power - the far more impactful topic.
- mariodiana 4y agoI understand "ossification of systems consolidation of power" as centralized planning, which is socialism, as opposed to laissez-faire capitalism. But, I'm guessing you mean something else. What do you mean?
- xsmasher 4y agoWhat's the similarity? They're both "plans?"
- mariodiana 4y agoEssentially, yes—they're both examples of centralized planning, where the conceit of politicians drives complex economic systems arbitrarily, resulting in chaos.
