>you want production at a standstill?
A very bizarre critique. The issue with social coordination is that people won't exercise that power to actually invest things? Even in the USSR the level of investment and savings was far higher than in capitalist countries. The inefficiency came not from the coordination of investment, but from managers lacking incentive to implement new technologies and utilizing that investment.

>give the people a vote on the means of production instead of the individual?
Individuals today generally do not have a vote, unless you're name's bill gates or jeff bezos.

>unless you can point to where communism was more efficient than capitalism
All these things are historically contingent. British textile production wasn't more efficient than Indian production until they just invaded India and shut that shit down in the age of imperialism. Communism of the 20th century was acting to catch up to the advanced capitalist countries, and began from a stand point of semi-feudal development. Beginning from developed capitalist countries, as well with the non-market incentive systems that already exist in those countries, I don't see the same inefficiencies developing. It should be noted, even in Venezeula, the inefficiencies of the oil sector festered under both capitalist and socialist political parties. These things don't change with larger methods of coordination.
