Your wife’s love is the best because she is Free, not Free to everyone.

A country is great because it has many things that are Free (freedom, guns, hunting) but not free to everyone.

Heaven is amazing because its Free; but not Free to everyone.

I could go on. This is why socialism can work and can not work. Free things work amazingly well if the bar to entry creates a proper filter of who it is free to.

Jesus is the only exception

Don't diss hegel because he's also foundational to fascism. The philosophy of the hegelian state was foundational to italy directly and indirectly to germany, and it worked, very well in fact. That being said, communism doesn't have a command economy because the state doesn't exist under communism, which removes the state from socialism. The ussr et al believed themselves to be in a transitory phase towards communism. Communism effectively advocates for a cooperative economy, which is neither market nor command. A command economy doesn't exist in communism because it cannot exist in communism.

A command economy isn't capitalist nor socialist, neither is a market economy capitalist nor socialist, nor is a cooperative economy either of the 2 . It's all about allocation of resources and whether or not planning is done by the state or by markets or by co-ops. The debate of socialism vs capitalism boils down *exclusively* to "who owns the means of production" and nothing else. Everything else such as the type of economy, welfare, education, infrastructure, Healthcare, these are all secondary questions that arise naturally from the primary question (who controls MoP).

 Capitalism *requires* private ownership (at least majority private anyways), socialism is more flexible and productive forces can either be worker owned or state-owned. A curious example however was natsoc Germany, where most of the companies were *technically* privately owned, but were in the hands of party members. So, german privatization was only de jure private, in reality a large amount of the businesses were de facto nationalized, while keeping the advantages of the market economy anyways. This is why everyone shits themselves when trying to describe hitlers economics, the conservative grifters calls him a far left socialist while the leftist says he was an ultra-capitalist. They're both wrong, but not entirely wrong either, both of them are just cherrypicking. Today we see the same thing with people trying to comprehend Chinese economics.

Hegel was an alchemist and a quack. His dialectic method that he called "Aufheben" is the cancer that's dissolving our world.

Chinese economics is just the primitive "stakeholder capitalism" that Schwabb pushed

NatSoc Germany was a third position, and it worked incredibly well. Germany’s socialist programs seemed to incentivize right wing values, like incentivizing child birth (population growth), marriage, building infrastructure and homeownership, car ownership, etc for the citizenry, so they wanted the people to have a stake in their nation through some amount of private property for the individual, something to call their own, an ability to travel for work (independence), etc, while individual effort was still treated accordingly, so being highly motivated or being really good at a particular job/skill could lead to rewards, you’d be put in positions where your abilities best served the economy, the state and your people, rather than taking away incentives from the people who are motivated by ensuring everyone gets the same outcome no matter how shitty or effective that person is at doing their job….it seemed like the main motivator in communist Russia was avoiding a labor camp or death, that’s not a great motivator if you want your people to be creative and to see their nation as something they truly care about.
