You really don't see any middle ground here? I feel like a rationally and centrally planned infrastructure not based on market incentives is not that hard to imagine, whatever your political beliefs are, why resort to some kind of philosophical thought experiment of the dictator?

And who would have thought that any dictator/ political party (either lefty or righty, it doesn't really matter) couldn't come up with a decent solution ["vote for us, we will solve your problems"] like they always seem to promise? After 10+ years....

Democratic rational central planning is a political belief. I happen to agree with it, but you’ll get called names for it.

My understanding is that he's talking about a central entity that has full ownership of electricity delivery and production, by opposition to a free market of competing entities. Basically the centrally planned infrastructure you're talking about, not a real dictator.
