Yeah. If you read the article, it is not asserting "Capitalism is Bad", it is saying that the rationality assumption implies that we don't need the market. If everyone was perfectly rational, we would all coordinate without the market.

I read it more as you need all knowing agents to make capitalism work which is the same requirement for a command economy.
