I'm not in favor of an economy out of control. I'm in favor of a centralized and well planned economy. What I'm not in favor is a strong-armed government intent on ignoring it's own laws and dedicated to the preservation of power of said financial structures, often times at the expense of it's own people. Giving the current Russian government economic power, eliminating the more or less independent financial structures, and forcing money into state-run projects is actually not a bad idea. It just requires higher protective tariffs. However with the current Russian government being what it is, an oligarchy representing financial interests dominated by a small group of strong-men (силовики), we have a recipe for a dictatorship.
