On Centralized Planning and Centralized Wealth (Original Content)

This is also x-posted in General Discussion, so give it a kick if you feel so inclined.

Centralized wealth and centralized planning have one thing in common. The power is concentrated in the hands of the few at the expense of the many. Whether it's the Comrade Party Leader or Corporate CEO, one thing holds true, they will extract the surplus value of your Labor, enrich themselves further, and pass laws that extract more wealth, and then tell you its for your own good. Soviet Union or United States, it makes no difference when you have little say in policy, nor enough time to try and say it because you're too busy feeding your family.
