No, there is only "knowing that communist central planning always ends up in shortages".

See here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19970544 for an example that illustrates the point nicely.

"Some central planning" does not mean "communism".

On top of that the US and Germany had the same ability, it just that they were extremely slow in their decision making.

When they finally made that step it did help. Incompetence caused scalpers to rise and profit while the rest suffered until the Government finally got their heads out of their asses.

Nothing about stalinism or communism in here. Just general incompetence.
