This. Communism removes the carrot entirely from the carrot and stick dynamic, only keeping the stick. By definition, communism fundamentally can never be anything else than a constant state of fear and misery, where the only reason you do something is to not be violently punished. There is no reward for work, only brutal beatings for not doing so well enough, and since communism removes every single metric that could be used to accurately measure what outputs should be reasonably expected, this invariably leads to unhinged incompetent bureaucrats who never held a shovel or seeds in their hands to decide what agricultural production should be expected of a farm, brutally murdering millions of farmers when those impossible demands aren't met.

The obvious solution is National Socialism, it's factually what everyone thinks about when they say they want "reasonable capitalism/free market". Maximization of individual freedom but without the possibility of that freedom harming the well-being of the group.

There's no reason not to consider yourself NS. It is the best form of Nationalism exhibited to date, it's the only one that doesn't worship money and instead places emphasis on the good of the people. It creates a people that is strong, healthy, proud, and capable of overthrowing their own government if corrupted.

NS maximizes individual freedom while preventing it from being at the direct expense of the people, it is meritocratic, it pushes humanity forward, it, as an ideology, nay, a worldview, genuinely possesses no flaws.

>every economic activity should run through the eye of the needle of the state
That's a disingenuous phrasing. NS is about the health and longevity of the Aryan race, NS doesn't seek to control everything you do, it just seeks to make sure that you don't pursue activities that are solely based on harming people. If your entire business is casinos, drugs, profiting off loans... you're not generating any value or product for anyone, you're a noxious parasite. NS gets rid of harmful jobs and bullshit jobs, your job or business must be able to explain how what it's doing helps people. Do you produce goods? Teach valuable skills? Help society in any way?

NS doesn't have a planned economy, and it maximizes true freedom and the free market while preventing economic monopolies that would kill local production.
