That's not how communal ownership works.
Am I missing something? This never was about communal ownership but about generosity.
'comrade' seems to make it a dig at communism or sharing economies in general.
Well, he calls him that in one hypothetical scenario to emphasize how this feels like socialism in a very broad sense
Why would there be communal ownership of personal goods? The stuff is alexi 's
I get it: because it doesn't work.
No it works great. We see co-ops all the time across the globe. Humans are a naturally cooperative species.
What clearly doesn’t work is private ownership as we can see from the current state of the world.
I think a primary necessity for communal ownership is social accountability. The point at which it breaks down is when neglecting the common item becomes "someone elses problem" due to the group being sufficiently large.
Yes but those in the coops have their own possessions. Certainly if you try to take away something as basic as the food they intend to eat themselves they are going to have limits.
A co op for managing the profits and work of a business makes great sense. But even hard core communists want their own pants and shoes and would be reluctant to give away thier own needs.
Obviously a deal communes drive towards is provide based on your ability, be provided to based on your needs.
I think the meme pushes on the perception of the individual of their "needs" (real or hypothetical)
Edit the point is the meme is all about personal possessions, to use the keywords of the replies.
Well yes we recognise the difference between personal and private property.
Weird almost duplicate replies
Eh I don't think there's any other way to talk about the concept in this context.
Congrats on recognizing that personal property is different, and isn't private property.
It's worked for all of human history and works today all over the world. If your family aren't monsters you've not only experienced it but actively participated in it and if you're not a sociopath you should be doing it right now with your neighbors given that's how neighborhoods function.
Worked for about 100,000 years actually
