I think you’re misunderstanding. I’m a socialist. I’m pointing to the capitalist supporters than none of this makes sense.

Personally, I think we should transition to a centrally planned socialist economy, and move away from mass manufacturing to as-needed small batch manufacturing by investing in local manufacturing capacity for individual communities wherever possible. Specifically, I believe 3D printing technologies can be expanded for this.

But the neoliberals will oppose that, because their power is maintained by controlling imports/exports, and preventing communities from becoming self-sufficient to not rely on exports.
