In a Soviet command economy the state would be running the business where they restrict something humans require to live and then sell it. It’s not much more than a monopoly with total vertical integration and low responsiveness to price signals. The advantage is that the state can set priorities independent of profits; it still remains a money-oriented system on the consumer level.
The two people discussing starting a business to do it though…
[taps market socialism example]
[taps feudal economy]
[taps the fact that even in command economies decision-makers in the state must make the decision to begin and monopolize the industry at some point, it just doesn’t have any competitors; this very scenario must happen at the start of every industry in a command economy]
You’re just going too hard here Pug my man it’s a meme
It’s a political meme. If it’s not being fought over, is it even worth the name?
Really in a “Soviet command economy” private citizens could create a business to monopolize necessities as implied above?

Right I get that but I don’t think that applies to the meme as above and you come of a bit “well actually”
