So, where will the raw materials come from so we can manufacture all of these wonderful goods? How about the workforce? Factories? Machines? Goods to build and/or develop said machines?

I mean he's an idiot, but he has a modicum of correctness here vis-a-vis pain because this is JDPON Don content. The core issue of communism is that humans need to understand the fairest way to decide who gets the negative effects of production. America has been offloading those effects on "everyone else", to the point that the system is so hollowed out in America for Americans. In practicality no matter who owns things the people or the bourgeoisie, they are always answering the question of "Who experiences the negative effects of production?". In practice because of how heightened the contradictions in our economy are, there's no practical answer to this regardless of ideology in a way where Americans don't feel pain. This is why Treatlerism is such a powerful ideology.
