    Like, if a community really wanted a unicycle repair shop, how would that get started?

    Pretty much the same way a community would start a co-op right now.

    Would that be up to a local government (or some other governing body)?

    Public participation, of course. The community would form councils, where people would collectively decide whether this is a good idea or not. That literally what the word soviet means - councils of people making decisions (which is why the Bolsheviks hijacked them and turned the word into a cruel joke).

      Well if the state provides funds based on need, we don’t need unicycles or pogo sticks at all so we just wouldn’t have them.

        The state is not qualified to decide whether someone needs a pogo stick - neither are billionaire parasites.
