When you own the means of production it's literally yours. I don't understand the issue.

Under communism, the state owns the resources. People are not the state.

That's false. There's no state in communism. See Karl Marx or any Communist writer on this.

You've gotta try reading beyond 6th grade level fiction before judging books on socio-economics.

Karl Marc is like Marx, but without that dictatorship of the proletariat cope.

You're mistaken, the state is a collection of proletariat meaning you are a part of the state. You may not be the whole state but it is your land as it is everyone elses

Atleast as far as I understand it

I've heard same said about liberal democracy too. "State is made up of us voting citizens" etc etc. Feels as hollow

If everyone owns something no one does

How much do you and the average person actually own under capitalism
