This (extremely off-putting) answer reveals a key thing that's beautiful about markets: They let people express the strength of their preferences without needing to always justify their values in front of a committee. https://twitter.com/DylanMAllman/status/1776649146675712146

Wolff’s answer makes no sense. If one cooperative, let’s call it Sony, made electronics like tvs and game consoles, and one cooperative produced food, or parts for trains, or anything else. The person who works for the train parts cooperative would just trade a certain amount of labour vouchers for a PlayStation

Because Wolff never claims that there is only one design for socialism, he specifically presents one toy design (full democratic purchasing governance in this case?) and debates against that framework ("under your system..."). He does this in every interview I've listened to, this clip lacks context?

AFAIK he's not opposed to markets, I think he just wants people to imagine that it's possible to have alternative ways of going things. But maybe I'm being too generous.
