Re: [SOCIAL CREDIT] USSR as a model?

[Pat Gunning]

Thanks Douglas. With all due respect, it is evident that you do not understand the critique of socialist central planning. There is so much specialization today that it would be impossible to monitor everything, even if one knew what to monitor. Computers are wonderful instruments. But I'm afraid one would need a much higher power, one that could not be produced by mortal men. I recommend again that you read the book. douglas-McLellan wrote: Mises arguements were against state capitalism and central planning they do not deal with production for use and common ownership . I have read some one say how would we know what to produce in socialism , the answer is fairly simple you can monitor what is being consumed and produce products accordingly You could use bar codes . computers , items in catolouges etc. .For projects that are larger such as building bridges or planes or trains you have successful models to go by and improvements can be made quite rationaly . Social credit is a distraction from the real problems facing humanity such as war starvation and poverty .Which can only be solved by getting rid of capitalim and replacing it with socialism .
