>Can you make a convincing argument that a socialist command economy is a bad thing?
Well yeah, overcentralization leads to inefficiency and crappy arbitrary policies, you can see it in OP pic where they are using road vehicles to collect the grain when a tractor and trailer would be more efficient and less prone to accidents. The same thing happens over and over, price controls lead to shortages, the state has to intervene to limit purchases per customer and start micromanaging everything, yet the shortages continue.
>Religious communes are an example.
They aren't command economies, the amish choose to cooperate with their communities that they have lived with all their lives, this is another element of a command economy that is corruptive, the authoritarian system.
>You have to actually justify hedonist ethics to make this argument.
If poverty builds sovl, or whatever, you don't need a command economy to accomplish this specifically, again look at the amish, deliberately abstaining from certain luxuries and conveniences. They are also majority white which I'm sure gets under your skin. Where are the hispanic, black, arab, 'jeet and asian amish and mennonites and such groups? The amish don't use many resources, they can build these communities pretty much anywhere with the "green revolution" boosting crop yields, you'd think these communes would be springing up all over the world, yet most of the world is utter shit. It is a great irony that the most backwards reactionary white conservatives achieve the utopia you dream of.
