It has been pointed out many times that communism collapses without an external capitalistic society to bilk. ("East minus West = Zero" by Werner Keller, for example.)
The "perfect information" criterion is a straw man set up by the enemies of capitalism. Perfect information does not and cannot exist, and in fact information is a commodity of varying quality that can be bought and sold, or given away free.
Your next prospective employer sees that you've left all your previous jobs, jobs that those employers had built plans on that fell apart when you left. Your prospective employer decides you're unreliable; you can't find a new job anywhere, and you spend the rest of your life in poverty with an increasing number of people who can't be bothered to make a career.
Business is not haphazard, and having a life worth living is not haphazard either.
There isn't enough gold to back the currency needed for us to keep track of all the transactions we're doing.
Did you bother to think this through? Did you just echo someone's thoughtless comment or lie? The price of gold expressed in units of other currencies is not an unchanging number. In a world with all money being gold or enforceable promises to pay in gold, the ratio of a particular good to an amount of gold will adjust to a number for which the amount of gold under human control suffices. How could it be otherwise?
How can economic growth be much too fast? What part of leaving a life that is short, nasty, and brutish (for a better life, not for death) do you want to delay?
The great things in the world that are recognized decade after decade are the sorts of exotics that will cease to exist under a system where nobody can be rich enough to afford exotic things.
There is no such thing as a "fair share" as you mean it. There is only what you can make, and what you can buy by trading what you have honestly acquired. All else is theft.
You claim that most people see healthcare as a right. I doubt it, particularly if it is presented properly, like this: Do I have a right to point a gun at a doctor and demand that he heal me?
Today's American "middle class lifestyle" is fabulously wealthy. Your "paltry" is typical leftist sneering.
Self improvement, becoming steadily a better person, is among the highest of possible goals. One aspect of being a better person can be being rewarded for his superior performance, being rewarded so well that he becomes upper class.
A system which prohibits or inhibits rewards to superior people is profoundly immoral.
Not all rich are corrupt. Some continue working because they enjoy doing a good job. Some continue working because it allows them to fund charities they believe in, or to fund speculative ventures.
A society which doesn't grow, shrinks. People once able to barely support themselves die or become a burden on others. Do you regard that as a success?
Economics observes things like raw materials, production, money, legal restrictions, war, technology, etc. and identifies the interplay between these with particular attention to whether and to whom wealth accumulates. Economics does not proselytize, economics does not say "this is good and that is bad", it simply identifies cause and effect. Math does not advocate. Physics does not advocate. Chemistry does not advocate. Economics does not advocate.
Healthcare is not a branch or type of science, it is an art and a practice which uses some scientific discoveries. Economics, properly done, is a science.
Countries covered with snow a large part of the year have an annual reminder that sloth leads to death, and it's strongly ingrained in the cultures of many It's harder to destroy their work ethic, but nevertheless it's still happening. The effects of socialism are already rotting out the core of Sweden.
Capitalism stands unique among all societies in recognizing and defending the right of individuals to own their productive effort; to keep or trade it. Capitalism has no relation to a battling warlord society, where most people are victims of the whims of murderous psychopaths.

Apparently they've already achieved the goal of taking all the brains from Democrats.
No True Scotsman fallacy

An all-communist world collapses into savagery.

You've presented a modest proposal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Modest_Proposal
The point of a basic income is to get power over those receiving it. The idea that its purpose is to help the weak is propaganda for suckers.
The history of government owning land is poor, the US not excluded. Do you want to ask a bureaucrat permission to live in a house?
What good is money if you can't buy anything with it? Who is a capitalist?
Who's an intellectual? Who decides what's intellectual property? By what right does somebody decide what can be done with someone else's idea?
You're writing gibberish.
"We will bury you" sounds like a threat adequate for engaging in legal action.

Money is NOT "control over other people", and it differs from a whip and shackles in that I can tell you to take your money and stuff it.

A proper government does not consider the source of energy so long as that source does not hurt the country's ability to defend its citizens.

Oh goodie. They produced killing machines. What a wonderful measure of productive growth.

It must be fun to be so ignorant. The first human flight with credible, existing documentation occurred 233 years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgolfier_brothers
