I don't think it's a matter of technological development at least. We have better technology and techniques than in decades past.
Large companies and partners in supply chains already do a lot of planning and balancing, but it is internal to their companies and contracts, not an open public platform. Think Amazon delivery or Uber. They are actually pretty impressive, but sucks that they are private. Under capitalism, they would never be, unless collaboration delivers profits. I'm thinking of those collabs for smart home and fitness tracking like Matter and Health Connect. They obviously just want to collect your data.
As for why socialist countries don't have CyberSyn rather than capitalist ones...idk I guess maybe because this requires infrastructure first. It's like how Marx's original vision was a highly developed capitalist society to be first to go communist, leveraging existing infrastructure to commence to FALC. But socialist countries today are not those, and are still working on maturing their material conditions
Absolutely, absolutely. This is why I have high hopes for this type of cybernetics.
Do you have any knowledge/opinions on OGAS in the USSR?
I think it was a different sub-discipline or variety of cybernetics from that of CyberSyn? Not sure if that contributed to success/failure
It's been a while, I was very interested in the topic at one point and read some things and watched a documentary. Let me try to dig up some links
