(appeal to authority)
The anti-communist in the meme was also making an attempt to appeal to authority
It is not an appeal to authority.... It's called a rebuttal. If someone makes a claim that no real smart person can do x, an easy way to prove them wrong is to provide an example of a smart person doing x.
true ig i was wrong

I mean, kinda? It's a meme, really. The actual article itself though isn't an appeal to authority, rather, it outlines pretty well the basics of why a publicly owned and planned economy is logically the correct path to take.
