I think one of the main flaws of socialism and planned economies in general is not accounting for supply and demand. In a capitalist society, if you don’t want something, you don’t buy it, whereas under a planned economy you’re stuck with it because that’s what the state decided to make. Case in point the coffee shortages in east Germany when it was controlled by the soviets. The people were extremely unhappy to the point of rioting.

As opposed to our famously robust capitalist economy which never has shortages and efficiently allocates resources to the most critical needs, of course.
it’s wild how they just look like little guys, how did that happen
