I liked the overarching idea, however the author proves himself ignorant of the basic economic ideas and concepts. The main keys of communism-socialism are the redistribution of the surplus value and the control of the means of production. Even private ownership of the land is not a requirement, even more so in a highly developed society, where land is no longer a resource highly sought to produce.

I'd suggest the writer reads his Marx and Engels, and even some Adam Smith before venturing into writing on topics like this.
