So, as wikipedia says, communism is “structured upon the common ownership of the means of production, absence of social classes, money, and the state.“ As I understand further, let’s imagine this kind of situation: there is communism right now, that means I can come to you and take all your clothes off you, because they’re not yours, they’re our. Same with the food. Will children be shared, too?
That’s why communism is stupid and never gonna work. Do you have anything to add? Do you want to correct me? If so, please, do.
your clothes are not the means of production
your food is not the means of production
like did you even try to understand
I mean children probably would be shared because communal raising. And nuclear families suck. But you don’t own your children anyway
yeah i didnt bother touching that eh, implying you own children is very creepy
communism will steal your gonads
rip
Why did you not tell me this Marx?
I mean like I expect people will usually primarily parent their own children, but child rearing will be much more communal… but yeah kids are family members not property, and are also definitely not the means of production.
Your personal property is very separate from private property. Personal property is stuff that satisfies one of your personal needs or wants, or as Marx would say has use value for you. So, your food, your clothes, that picture of a dog on your wall, your sofa, your TV, your books, your living space, and so on, private property would be stuff you own that you don’t have any personal use for but are said to own anyway, for example a house you rent out to someone else, you don’t need that house, if you’re renting it out, presumably you have your own house, and if you’re renting it out it’s not like you use it for vacations or anything, so except for needing money (which you won’t need under communism) you have no reason to want to own that house. That house should belong to the people who live in it.
Means of production means stuff like gigantic automated looms for making vast amounts of cloth, factories, industrial scale printers, car manufacturing robots, industrial equipment, large farming equipment (enough of which will be produced so that there’ll be plenty to go around to fulfill agricultural needs)
