Means of production owned by all= less production? - ?

[RAM]

Ok you have my permession to beat me if I'm wrong but if everyone owns the land and so forth then wouden't you go back to the openfield system and not produce enough food if the populaton increased and decourage efficent production. Shouden't you have the enclosure sytem where enough food is produced and more?

It was a population incresse that lead to enclosure happeneing

Less production would be cause by barries, small areas of land so cases to small to be used, lazy people spreading desse, a fallow field not selective breading

what you appear to be imagining is fuedelism.

However you can break up things and keep them owned by the same person/group. That's how slicing up a baklava works.

I'm a communist again in theoey

Here we are, back to communism as subsistence farming again.

If you remember, the first think Che wanted to do after the revolution in Cuba succeeded was industrialize Cuba son that it would not be dependent on its single crop King Sugar.

Under socialism, there is a central planning structure that informs the people what to grow and make so that the nation/commune has sufficient or surplus. Socialism has nothing agaisnt foreign trade.

Communism is a more refined form of socialism where the balnce of the commune makes these decisions collectively without needing a vanguard of intellects telling them what to grow and when.

By the way, Ram, I planted tomatoes and pumpkins (well, my six year old did). So long as you naturally guessed you needed to grow wheat, sugar and dairy, we will have spagetti and pumpkin pie for everyone.

See? Easy when you're a real smart ass like me, isn't it?

communism is about planning for human demand thus need without the restriction money places on the majority. We also plan to reduce waste, arms expenditure and pollution control etc
