how else are you supposed to make economic planning fluid and not sluggish with susceptibility to graft and corruption but also not greedy in their own vacuums where other local economies might do better than others based on random factors like weather and geography?~

is there like a way where you can combine the two, because based on the questions i read, i kept thinking about how central planning basically didn't do much in favor if there's a hierarchy of top level managers directing you and exploiting the labor rather than a bunch of groups coordinating throughout regions without undermining each other and working towards a common goal and patching out resource scarcities to complete each other, but its so generalized :shrug:

Other species than humans have their own experiences that can’t be ignored, and thus any moral calculus must consider them fully (or as much as we can from our own perspective at least). To say human life takes priority, before you consider any given moral dilemma, is to decide that non-human life has no value outside what it can provide humans.

Gotta consult the mosquitoes before we drain this malarial swamp in the middle of the city!

Damaging the environment almost always has negative effects on human beings down the road, and should be avoided as much as possible because of that, not because of the lived experience of, say, plague-carrying sewer rats.

Basically it's somewhere between demsoc reformism and more Orthodox Marxist revolutionary. Not quite right enough to realise real socialism isn't happening at the ballot box because of the vested interests aligned against it simply having too much power.

And then once you get there you can work on maturing past infantile concepts like democratic centralism and get on the road to anarchocommunism and council communism.
