Central planning and heterogeneous large scale distributed agriculture don't mix.

That seems like an oversimplification of what happened to Soviet Russia and China under Mao.

  • I grew up in USSR, and wrt agriculture it isnt oversimplification, it is exactly how it was there. It was the key factor resulting in the food shortages, and that was a major factor in the USSR collapse.
