All of that aside, central planning in general is completely cancerous because it's the idea that a few people know what the economy needs more than the economy itself. That's why there were gas shortages when the government placed a ceiling on gas prices. If commodities are priced low it tells consumers to buy and it tells producers not to produce. Inversely, if commodity prices are high then it tells producers there's opportunity to make money and it tells consumers that there's scarcity. Like the housing market right now.

So to fix this the government has to go fix prices on five dozen other things. And then fix prices on five dozen other things FOR each of those five dozen other things. You're just playing whack-a-mole and trying to manipulate supply and demand while breaking everything else that relies on it in the process.

So that's why Nazi Germany eventually resorted to slave labor, because at some point the only fucking way to fix all of this garbage is to literally just have people working for free. The Nazis will deny this and just say "no bro it was an economic miracle" without explaining how the miracle actually works, and the socialists will also deny this because it's an admission that socialism doesn't work.

Yep.

Ppl are oblivious to one ww2 fact.

Germany had a much larger economy than ussr in every aspect except oil.

But was so damn inefficient.
