Personal property and the population

[The Man]

Could your personal property in which your household theoretically be seized because of an increasing population? What if there is an agricultural community in Communism, and there is an increasing population that needs to be sheltered in a home?

[Robespierre Richard]

You mean like when anarchists burn your car?

Seriously though I don't think think that would ever happen except because of some natural disaster. In the early USSR a lot of people left the countryside to work in factories and lived in barrack-like bunkhouses that were smaller than their log cabins, but that was because there were more opportunities as a proletarian rather than a peasant.

[Tim Finnegan]

No, because I've licked it all to make sure nobody will want it.

Anyway, yeah, I can see people dossing down in the living room after a natural disaster, but I can't imagine it being routine. Any society so poorly organised that it can't have stable housing for the majority of its population is unlikely to be well organised enough to have neatly allotted personal accommodation in the first place.

Build more shelters?

I don't see any normal case of people barging into your place of residence and demanding they be given equal lodging within it. There are much better options than cramming people in to already existing structures.

But doesn't that mean we would have to take some agricultural productive property?

If it is a choice between that or allowing many people to be without shelter, I'd choose the former as the best course of action.

Plus, the amount of space homes would occupy wouldn't result in the loss of too much agricultural productive property, and could be offset by personal gardens to supplement those who live there.
