You keep talking about workers being exploited by the private sector, but the sufficient solution is for the state to ensure that public sector jobs are readily available, so that workers dissatisfied with their private sector jobs can easily switch to public sector jobs. You, however, want to eliminate private sector jobs altogether. Then what if the public sector is exploitative? I want to maintain the private sector precisely to guard against this possibility, so that workers dissatisfied with their public sector jobs can also easily switch back to private sector jobs. But what is your solution for workers exploited by the public sector if no private sector exists as an alternative?

You are opposed to voluntary transactions, period. No rewording can save you.

Hitler's Reichs Press Chief Otto Dietrich writes in his memoirs that Hitler had sensed that

... the economic requirements of human large-area development had outgrown the structure of the former self-regulating private capitalistic economic system and that common sense demanded a new, more efficient economic structure, in other words a planned overall management. The economic principle he was envisaging can be expressed as follows: private capital production based on a belief in the common good and under state control!"?

...

Wages and prices, which in the capitalist free enterprise system are left to the free play of forces of the market to regulate, were state-controlled in the Third Reich. Whilethere had already been a Reichs Price Commissioner in Germany since 1931, the creation of a new 'Reichs Commissioner for Price Formation' at the end of October 1936 was 'more than just the reactivation of an already familiar institution under a new name. Under the Four-Year Plan it developed into a central control institution for economic policy." The duties of the Price Commissioner did not consist of merely 'controlling and correcting market prices, but also of the 'official formation of the price'. The assignment of labour was also state-controlled by means of various instruments and meas ures. A directive issued in 1936 within the framework of the Four-Year Plan, for example, required every company in the iron and metal industry and the building trade to train a certain number of apprentices as a means of reducing the lack of skilled workers. "" In summary we can note that the state created a comprehensive planning instrument and by a number of direct and indirect measures controlled the allocation of raw materials, investments, wages, prices and in part also consumption."
