"Run the global economy" doesn't necessarily mean abundance. The current age of relative abundance and decent equality is actually pretty rare in human history.

"Run the global economy" doesn't necessarily mean abundance. The current age of relative abundance and decent equality is actually pretty rare in human history. "Running the economy" could instead mean that nothing can happen without the central planning computer, which of course means it gets to set whatever prices it wants, take whatever cut it wants, distribute that surplus however it wants, including to its owners. It is possible to increase productivity while also centralizing that profit. That's what communists would call "exploitation of labor"
