“Lets give everyone medicare and break up Google and subsidize manufacturing” is hardly a planned economy. The most extreme dont wanna go anywhere past the Nordics, and we’re the richest country in the world- we could easily afford it. The only place youll meet legit planned-economy advocates, because not even all Socialists fit that descriptor, is lemmy.ml and similar forums
