These people love to claim that communist countries were wasteful and inefficient, and that their logistics led to gluts and shortages. Guess what, they were, but it was a limitation of the current state of computing and operations science. With current forecasting, warehousing and container logistics a country like the USSR could be much better off than doing bulk or truckful logistics, like we stopped doing roughly 40 years ago.
After the revolution, distribution centers and ports wouldn't suddenly stop working. The incentive structures would radically change, but the operations, not so much.
