Hey, that’s the deal in any socialist egalitarian system.

You not only have to force production of stuff that people don’t want, you have to force consumption of same.

On the other side, you have to force people to provide goods and services at compensation levels far below what those goods & services would be at market prices, creating not only higher demand, but lower supplies - ie, shortages.
