The first point is nonsensical ("sure, the free market system keeps making new stuff, but what happens when we run out of stuff to pay for it with?"); it's like a bad Yogi Berra pastiche, expecting that we as a society will become so wealthy that we can't afford to do it anymore. He tries to paper over this with a lot of hand-waving about classes, but fundamentally he's trying to use a zero-sum model to explain wealth creation.
If it weren't for this "parasitic" system you wouldn't even have been able to post this drivel, for several dozen reasons, including the fact that you likely would never have been born or would have died in your youth.
Of course I would have been born, I was born in a communist country (Czechoslovakia). You think they couldn't make a fertilizer back then or something? Our country is capable of producing less today than it used to during that era. We were destroyed by capitalist financialization, the same problem that had the West lost to China economically. The thing that Marx has warned about..
