In such a society, the winners will be the ones supplying the (constantly updating) newest machines that others want to use. This is why we support statism: it takes state intervention to realistically stop the machine ratrace.
People from Azania, Nubia into Igboans, Kim Jong Un's Korea and Islamic Afghan Emirati are the best example of statist government. They more concern to educate people about the evilness of westernization and halt people's technological consumption, rather than freeing their people to obtain newest unnecessary technologies and westerner's progressive literatures. They tend to plea to the West to be accountable for what they did in the past rather than adapt to the West for the sake of material benefit. Don't forget that most of nations from Azania into Igboans are systemically hostile to democracy and tend to government centralization. Therefore they know how to govern. Not like what westerners say that the they "not know how to govern." And it was not them who spread the system of democracy, but ((("whites" or westerners)))
