Temporary central planning in pursuit of a single common goal works at the cost of individual freedoms.
Centrally planning an economy for (hundreds of) millions of free people just going around their lives doesn't. Central planning requires rationality, but people do things just because they feel so.

Yes, in the case of WWII, central planning led to many US car manufactures losing the freedom to manufacture cars. In exchange, we beat the Nazis, freed Europe, and stopped the holocaust. I'd say that was a pretty good deal. note to anyone reading this: Please attempt not to use simplified, polarized thinking for a moment. Communism can be bad/evil at the same time that temporary central planning to achieve a goal can be good.
