Anything that is done in large scale and used by the entire society becomes civilizational infrastructure and it needs to be maintained in a coordinated, centralized fashion. From the transportation infrastructure to justice, military, food.
These things were provided and maintained by the nature when human civilization was just loose collectives of roving bands of hunter-gatherers. At the stage we reached today, that's impossible.
The problem with modern world is not that it mimics Soviet Union's central planning and governance of infrastructure. If it did mimic the Soviet Union, the fundamental things that everyone needs from housing to education would be provided to everyone.
The problem is that we privatized large swaths of this modern infrastructure and we are allowing sociopaths to profit off of these fundamental societal infrastructures at great cost to entire society. Privatizing things like healthcare is as crazy as privatizing military or the police.
