He called the zeitgeist movement communism...

Obviously it is not completely communist in nature. If you read Marx, one of the main points is that he sees human labor as a resource.
This would be one of the biggest inconsistencies with the 'resource based economy' model. What if you need more than one person to design something or to work on a project? The human labor cannot be available to everyone because it would mean that the human would become a slave to whatever the vision is at that time.
The idea of the website about how the US built 90000 aircraft when they didn't have money, but lots of resources, is true. What is forgotten is the human labor that they used and how they did that. The war and fear and autocracy that instilled people to sacrifice their labor to build the aircraft is forgotten. How about the thousands who wanted to do something else, but felt compelled to work for the war game?
