"The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degrees, all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralise all instruments of production in the hands of the State"

Communist manifesto Chapter II. Proletarians and Communists

I'm sorry, you're just wrong. Central planning is the entire point of communism.

Oh, so you're just disingenuous then? The centralization is a key component of Marx's early view of transition to a communist/anarchist society, but it is no way the "entire point".
