Same thing happens in communism/socialism. I had the opportunity to work with a former steel mill honcho from the eastern bloc. He said the state mandated your factory output each year and the trick was to produce just a little more than the mandate.
Too little production and you lost your job and your state-supplied apartment. Too much and they expected you to do more next year and the other factory managers put a target on your back for making them look bad and increasing their workload. It was no-win for everybody and the economy never produced the correct levels of anything for the people.
Every family was given an apartment; there were no homeless. But, they didn’t own the apartment nor the land. Make yourself as invisible and compliant as possible and you’d be OK.
The communists dictated all aspects of life, including what you did for a living. Another man I know wanted to be a pianist but they had enough pianists, so he was assigned to the violin. He’s been successful as a violinist and conductor but it was under duress for life until he was about 50 years old.
Throw in climate change, predator overload, the end of farms,ranches,hunting and fishing, and the planet replacing God and you have agenda 21 right there.
