I have no point. I just want to know how those things should be organized if not as businesses. USSR had businesses, so to work without them, something else must be used to link everything together.
like logistics, actuary/risk assessment, and public relations
Your callout to the USSR belies the lack of point you professed to, as well as your astounding lack of imagination. The US Post Office is not a business and yet yearly goes about the process of organizing national mail delivery. There are plenty of organizations that operate in the abscence of a profit motive.
Hell, people could do all those things – actuarial work, operations planning, etc – for simple altruism. I’m a misanthrope and even I remember such things exist.

What does that question even mean? How should logistics be done?
Spare me the Socratic method and get to your real point.
