I didn’t mention a planned economy, just not a consumerist one. Still, why would a planned economy not be practical?
The issue with just making home econ mandatory is that you see it as an educational problem. The thing is, even if you taught your friends everything, would they suddenly be “enlightened?” Maybe one or two, but not everyone, and that’s due to rampant consumerism brought on by large Capitalists.
Side note: “middle class” doesn’t exist, that’s just the upper end of working class or the lower end of Petite Bourgousie or perhaps the Labor Aristocracy. Class isn’t determined by income, but by relation to production, because the common thread of class is class interest.
I’m not advocating for obscene wealth for everyone, but a restructuring along worker-centric lines, rather than owner-centric like it currently is.
