The Lego Movie and the Failures of Socialism - Response to Maxmunich

I found this video "The Lego Movie: A Communist Manifesto" a few days ago and it was at 200K views within about a week. It has since doubled in views and the fact that this communist ideology is so prevalent today is deeply troubling to me.

I only got about 7 minutes into watching his video while reacting in recording so I unfortunately haven't finished watching it yet, since reacting to the first five minutes took an hour and a half. So I decided if I was going to continue, I would save watching the rest for new parts. Ideally leaving room for other people to weigh in before hand, and letting me see what things I got wrong in this video.

So, let's see if Maxmunich's arguments hold any water...

The two books I quote are: "Marxism Unmasked: From Delusion to Destruction" and "The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality" both written by Ludwig Von Mises, the dean of the Austrian School of Economics from . Both books are available for purchase online at: mises.org in their library or on amazon. I am not sponsored by the Mises Institute or any other entity what-so-ever. I simply have seen multiple authors I like quote or allude to Mises, which led me to his works.
