So why is it horribly misinformed? The first paragraph?
Yeah.

"...And they had all decided, left, right and centre, that there was not a thing economicaly wrong with Socialism..."
Shame they never old anyone. While they may have come to such a conclusion - when was it puplished to the world? The Right, Centre and Left have never ver ceased to attack Socialism, from every angle.

"...everyone, socialists and non-socialists alike, had long realized that Socalism sufered from an incentive problem.
Not only does Socialism not suffer from an 'incentive prolem', but you wouldn't be much of a Socialist if you thought it did.

"If, for example, everyone were to recieve an equal income under Socialism..."
He has either never even read basic Marxist works, or he is just trying to further this fallacy on behalf of the ruling class.

"...Or, in another variant, everyone was supposed to "produce acording to their ability" but receive "acording to their needs"..."
Wrong again. This is simple stuff to be getting wrong; he does it on purpose.

"...Who, under Socialism, will take out the garbage?"
A garbage man.

He goes on a bit with more "religious communism", then calls Mao a Socialist. Why should I bother anymore with someone who is knowingly peddling lies? You might as well take it to the "Why we defended the USSR" thread if you want to make something out of this. :/
