I’ve been dabbling with the idea of communism for quite some time now, but one thing has always prevented me from being fully convinced. How do you allocate the inherently scarce resources. I strongly believe that a local person/company knows better how to allocate resources efficiently than a central government 100s km away. For example food. A central government will never be able to know the area as well as locals. How do you solve this?
I don’t think there’s many “local companies” managing factory farms, or importing food from overseas neocolonies. Also 100s of km away.
I’d say just look at the levels of food waste occurring and food insecure billions, within markets today, to know something’s fucked. There’s certainly a better way of centrally managing production and distribution, especially with the levels of technology available today.
