I can easily argue against this.
The stupid poster is basing his arguments on current the current system, but the current system is a corrupted capitalism because in genuine free-market capitalism, people's property rights are respected - but in the current system people's property rights are violated by their forced participation in the government system where the government is continually robbing them of their wealth via money printing, and then redistributing that wealth (forced wealth redistribution... hmm isn't that the socialist method!?) to wherever the government sees fit. Or do you think 30%+ taxation rates means "free-market"?? Because you're forced to participate in the government's system, you have no say ober their laws either. So they make all these market regulations that are NOT beneficial at all. If a centralized entity is determining who you do business with and HOW you do business, is that really a "free-market"?
Communism is extremely easy to dismiss. There, the government represents both sides of the market (both buyer and seller). In such a "market", you cannot get an actual price for something because there are no buyers and there are no sellers. So without accurate prices, how do you know how much someone needs (values) something? If you don't know how much someone wants (values) something, how can you allocate the resources to fulfill those needs? Just a guessing game, which is why communism always results in shortages of everything. Because as much as the communists love to repeat their mantra "why the fuck everything cost money?", they value to understand that something having a free-market cost is not a bad thing. The price of something is capitalism's information system, which allows economic calculation to be performed. If you don't know the cost, you don't know the value, then you can't perform economic calculation and thus you cannot allocate resources effectively.
