As a person who literally did a systems theory course last semester, one of the things I learnt was that it is definitely possibly to predict and plan the growth of an economy with a reasonable amount of computing resources.
Furthermore I unironcally have 0 clue as to what this guy could be referring to with "mathematical proof" that Communism leads to authoritarianism.
I swear to God if you neglect your philosophical education the only thing you will get out of STEM is a fat wallet and a brain full of rubbish, good only at a narrow set of tasks.

The dumbass lib doesn't know what they're talking about. "Authoritarianism" is a nonsense concept. Especially when you consider the authoritarianism of capitalism. If anything, the authoritarianism of Marxist movements is a good thing. It's what allows them to destroy the servants of reaction. Neither the Bolsheviks nor the CPC would have made it very far if they were unwilling to suppress anti-communists.
We've seen what happens when leftists insist on being "anti-authoritarian." Their movement is quickly infiltrated and subverted by reactionaries or they become liberal as they're unwilling to purge opportunists.
The lib in this discussion is right that Marxism results in authoritarianism, but that's what's required for any revolution to be successful, regardless of the revolution's ideology.
That's most likely because they just made it up on the spot lmao
More like an empty wallet.
Yeah, did I get an empty wallet because I read philosophy outside of class?
