Isn't it strange, when the stated role of the government
is general coordination of social activities, meaningful
allocation of funds, and overall social order and effectiveness.
Coercive funding and coercive implementation of programs
remove incentives to improve coordination and effectiveness,
so whether the centralized system could actually deliver them,
is a moot point - it won't bother [too much, anyway].
Wasn't Communism a good enough lesson here?
