    Instead of speaking of ‘free markets’ and buying into liberal propaganda, it’d be more accurate to speak of ‘planning for an individualistic hedonism’. Such a plan can be achieved by restricting the information available to producers, so that they see only ‘consumer demand’.

        There are several components to this system for ‘planning for individualistic hedonism’. The most important is the public/private divide. This is a division of information/expertise. It ensures that neither government nor industry has a complete picture. This is part of the plan.

        With the public/private divide in place, we ensure that corporations cannot be part of any plan other than the plan for achieving an economy based on individualistic hedonism. Planning is divided into spheres, with corporations restricted to planning to meet ‘consumer demand‘.

        Note that none of this is substantially different from any other planned economy. Every plan requires implementation at the local level. No plan is complete. ’Capitalism’ is simply planning that divides the state (polity) into public and private spheres that plan differently.

        The private sphere is restricted in organization and information access. Its departments (corporations) cannot ’collude’ (communicate) in certain ways and they only have access to certain kinds of information for internal planning. This supports individualistic hedonism.

        The main alternative is not ‘socialist planning’ but ‘nationalist planning’. All states now run according to the individualistic-hedonistic plan (‘capitalism’) originally developed using nationalist planning, including the US. And it’s still employed for ’national security’.

        ‘Socialist planning’ encounters a problem because socialism inherits the commitment to individualistic-hedonism from liberalism, but adds the goal of equality. It therefore has to try to plan the individualistic-hedonistic plan. A kind of meta-planning that leads over-planning.

        The communist states were developing states that tried to do nationalist planning using ideas from socialist planning (designed for a developed individualistic-hedonistic economy). China transitioned from this to just straightforward nationalist planning (Deng read List).

        Thus, ‘capitalism’ is just a kind of planning, partially realized by restricting the plans of subordinate departments (‘private corporations‘), that developed states employ to achieve specifically liberal goals (individualistic hedonism). Anti-liberals must reject it.

        You should look into details around Bentham and John Stuart Mill. In many ways a cult perhaps comparable to what people allege of the Straussians. Their subsequent impact and sucessors aren't to be understimated. They shaped the British state in this direction.

        We should think about "re-siloing" Tech (like it was in the Moonshot early-70's) and getting the Web out of people's hands. That way, we can hyperfocus our exploratory efforts and undermine the potential for increased individual surveillance and the dissemination of agitprop.
