Remember that prices are artificial. We say a car is $4,000 because that is a value we give it, but if people changed their thought process on the issue, we could really use the resources for free. And I know this couldn't happen overnight. But to say it is totally impossible ever is just silly. I believe socialism is better than capitalism because capitalism easily descends into "profits before people." I clearly do not support the kind of "socialism" we saw in the USSR, but instead liberterian socialism. The cold hard capitalism of today is destroying this planet and if we don't change our ways soon, this society will collapse.
It seems you're proposing a command economy with the complete absence of markets.
Libertarian socialism isn't a command economy.
Lack of markets doesn't require a command economy.
