1. My notion is a "command" economy UNTIL

all citizen's "general welfare" concerns are taken care of. Food, shelter, clothing, health care, education, access to fuel, banking and others that I can't think of off the top of my head , should be prioritized and controlled by a PEOPLE'S run government for the benefit of ALL of the citizenry. After that I would allow a limited market economy as long as it was taxed and regulated.

Hell actually as much as the capitalists are afraid to compete, even in the market I'd set up a government run "business" to compete DIRECTLY with the capitalists. At least with products that are of general interest to the citizenry. Generic, safe, and regulated widgets created and sold without profit (Medicare model). Let the fucking bloodsuckers compete with that.
