Fucking hell, Mana just gets worse and worse. From shilling Palestine to talking about how horrible men are to unironic communism.

The reasons why communism is bad are legion, but a quick summary
>Economics presupposes scarcity (air is functionally infinite so there's no air economy... yet)
>Price, as a function of supply and demand, operates as a rationing mechanism
>If supply is low and demand is high, prices rise. This discourages new purchases but encourages new producers to provide the good or service in question (because there's money to be made) l.
>If supply is high and demand low, prices drop and profits drop. This causes entities specialized in providing that good or service to redivert their resources to producing something else instead and providing supply for something that's in higher demand
>Planned economies take away this subtle dance of supply and demand and instead let the government (or some other entity) determine what all means of production should produce and who gets it
>The government, being made up of fallible men with incomplete information, never manages to fulfill the needs of consumers as efficiently as the free market where demand itself creates a stimulus for more supply production

And that's assuming the communist party is working as intended and genuinely trying its best. In reality bloated governments always become corrupt kleptocracies where The Party enriches itself, and the system gets bogged down by dogmatic purity (see: communist denial of Neo-Darwinian evolution in favor of Lysenkoism).

At best you could argue for "third position" government intervention, but that is less of an economic and more of a geo-economic position (see: post-Mao China setting up a new Silicon Valley in Shenzen not because it makes economic sense, but because it reduces dependence on American technology and therefore the American government [it can't as easily pressure China through an embargo]).
