>You might be able to plan, but what about the advancements that nobody would plan for

You obviously adjust the plan? Planning was never supposed to be some static system (and the "5 year plans" are not about market planning, they were more like "5 year initiatives to improve this or that aspect", e.g. "develop more tank making capacity", or "take a man to the moon").

“Let’s develop a product nobody asked for”

And I’m happy to take a look at this list of “lots of inventions communists came up with” if you want to point me to them.
