Nonsense. His entire argument rests upon Communism:
The introduction of a free market in Russia after 1989, lead to an excess mortality of about 3 million people. [no evidence, just the absurd statement]

A plan in itself is a good idea. They are wide-ranging documents, shaping the future of 700 million people on 10 million square kilometres. Inevitably, some people will suffer compulsion, in the implementation of such a comprehensive plan. For instance, their land might be compulsorily acquired.

Redistribution of wealth is inherently good: in fact, it is a moral obligation of the state.

I say the state should tax those with more than an acceptable minimum income. But what if they are the creators of wealth, and they refuse to create when they are taxed? Well then let us all live in poverty, and let us imprison them, for trying to blackmail the state into lowering their taxes.

Sorry steve, his "entire" argument doesn't rest on anything but Libertarianism. I posted that table that summarizes his points. Refute them, or admit that you can't.
