>I'm not saying one engineer should do all of the work, but they should have basic knowledge of the process and what is going on, because that's what's required to accomplish it.
We're getting somewhere now, at this point you need some kind of management position, like the kind we have now.
>The revolutions failed because of them being overpowered by the national bourgeoisie, not because they didn't manage their finances.

>Not all motivation in labor comes from supply and demand, at the end of the day the individual workers under capitalism only cares about collecting the gross wage after their surplus value has been collected. The only people caring about the market forces that push them to produce those commodities are the bourgeoisie.
Get to the coal mines comrade, after all you'd rather work at the coal mines than at a comfy office job right?
This is the problem with this model, it's a complete pipe dream where everyone's expected to work unequal jobs for the same reward out of goodwill apparently
>Just because they sound similar doesn't mean they are the same. Guilds were made up of the bourgeoisie that helped protect the economic interests of their fellow members.
Guilds were made up of artisans and craftsmen aka your proletariat who controled production so that prices wouldn't drop to noobhell and they could afford to buy food. The only way a non-command communist economy could even have a chance would be through a similar system, where other craftsmen would be forced to dabble onto production of other goods not through the market, but through peer pressure and max quotas which would be enforced God knows how.
To do otherwise would betray the marxist ideals of the workers themselves being in control of the methods of production. A command economy only means that the guy giving orders to the workers is an armed government officer who will shoot you instead of some liar who'l just fire you.
>They were the ones that helped push Europe into the early stages of capitalism
false, moving away from the cities to circumvent guild laws that banned mass-production, running the guilds out of business through said mass-production then hiring said now unemployed craftsmen is what caused that.
>And command economies were a concept before Stalin.
that's true, let's look at a more modern example of a command economy
