>>Since the directive is affecting the production of output from a higher authority in an administrative/political hierarchy, I believe this falls under command economy. This is more Communist in the Soviet and Eastern Bloc style.
Both Communism and Socialism stipulate that workers own the means of production. While it's true that attempts to achieve this seem to degenerate into command economies heading in the opposite direction, you can't link them because there are also determinedly Capitalist command economies. We've seen the 99% revolting in more than one such Capitalist command economy in 2012. I believe that Dragan is highlighting the tendency to merge such terms to make it easier to demonize.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
