        You have far fewer desperate people to feed into the meat grinder, you have to be right everywhere every time or the oppressors will magnify your failures both at home and abroad, your researchers aren’t researching almost exclusively weapons of mass destruction.

        Also you know the whole “holding any value for human life” bit.

          Funnily enough, socialist countries typically don’t feature unemployment, making the utilization of labor more effective. Also, planned economy has immense potential in the information era.

          You have tools to curb this, there’s a reason why the great internet firewall exists.

          Fair enough lmao
