I can't see anything in a command economy indicating it requires repression? Clearly humanity will get there, or will likely destroy itself in the process.

- ceejayoz 3y agoA command economy gets a lot easier if you can force people to work certain jobs and produce certain things. The Soviets had trouble with this because measurement and enforcement were challenging; they'd have loved Amazon's warehouse worker surveillance systems.
- analognoise 3y agoThat's an amazing point. What we have under "capitalism" is essentially the Soviet wet dream: being able to force workers into work, "willingly", and they work so hard they piss into bottles to stay on target. We've got all the repression right now, just for a slice of the population that everyone considers effectively disposable. Woah.
