I mentioned stuff about walmart and modern technology and somebody sent me a long wall text of how that wouldn't work because entire economies are too complex even for supercomputers.
now on tiktok anytime somebody says something remotely socialist they get spammed with "debunk the ECP"
Fucking sims city 2000 handles central planning on a core 2 duo. Basic economic simulation isn't that complicated, especially because demand doesn't change drastically from one day to the next.
The only reason "simulating the economy" is so hard right now is because it's totally nonsensical and you're accounting for markets with no relation to actual demand.
I guarantee you that a decent enough central planning program could work well even if it was just done on paper by 1000 bean counters.
The most important thing is having a government/party that's capable of shutting down loopholes and preventing gaming of the markets for profit (but that would basically mean scrapping the entire finance industry, which the people who say this is impossible don't even consider).
