gollark: Oh, I just agree with its political/economic/personal freedoms thing.
gollark: planned economy bad.
gollark: (which does mean that the current high inequality is somewhat problematic, but I'm not sure what the fix for that is unless you *can* somehow split economic/political power a lot)
gollark: (unless you can somehow strongly decouple them? it would be interesting if that could be done somehow)
gollark: You can, I'm sure, just complain that all examples of that aren't REAL communism. But really, centralized economic power leads to centralized political power.
