this is actually existing democratic socialism working. What is totally brilliant about this is that it in a very real historical way demonstrates that socialism vs capitalism is not an economic problem, but a political one. This model was NOT "state planning" in the traditional sense, it was rather a set of fiscal and monetary policies -- it's mega-keynesianism. And it worked -- but the reason it stopped was because of the counter-reaction of the capitalist class of the mid 1970s.
