    Hella fair!

    Might that be closer to something like syndicalism?

    Because, like, the people doing the work all belong to an association that represents their industry and decide collectively among their industry peers what is produced, how it’s produced, and for whom.

    Those industrial associations would be worker syndicates.

    As far as communicating the wants of the population at large, that’s what currency exists for; it’s a signalling system. That’s the “market” component - if a worker syndicate decides to produce things that they send to markets where nobody wants those things, nobody there buys the things and as a result they get less money for paying their own bills (including wages). Nobody likes not getting paid, after all.
