In the small scale.

But if you're thinking about society, you damn well better be thinking about having a big enough place for the people who "need to work with their hands," that's adequately remunerated.

As long as we understand that the ‘want’ may originate beyond what individuals desire. e.g. the state may want agricultural production to be in-house for food security or have sufficient industrial capacity for national security

So these measures (public/investments) would be instituted to fulfill these ‘wants’

But don't ever worry about the big yellow elephant in the room with bold black letters M-O-N-O-P-O-L-Y and A-D-V-E-R-S-A-R-Y

Not true. I give money to the government against my will. Same for the rent, the utility company, the water company etc.

Most people give what other people can force them to pay to survive.
