    Command economy is actually underpowered in vanilla right now, since profits go to bureaucrats as opposed to being recouped by the state.

    The thing that really makes socialism "overpowered" is that the capitalist/aristocrat pops don't fight hard enough to protect their class interests. For example, the AI is unlikely to fight a regime change war against class threats, and the capitalists are generally unable to provide enough resistance to prevent the player from peacefully transitioning to socialism. That's not an issue with the economic simulation, but rather with the political simulation.

      Eh I think it's about council republics in general but even command economy imo is pretty good but not as good as giving it all over to the workers or going full on laissez faire. Bureaucrats are generally a good pop to have since imo the top IGs are Intelligentsia and Armed Forces. I find that by the time you can go communism your economy should be industrialized enough that you don't need more money in your budget and having a faster circulation of money is more desirable.
