What if I want to make my own farm?
You could have a personal garden, but to have a farm you’d have to obtain a lot of land. Then you’d have to make the land productive with either large and resource hungry machinery i.e. capital or you’d have to obtain and exploit the labor of farm workers to work by hand.
What if i agree with some of my friends that we will join our yards to make one big field and work it together? We could also ask others for help and pay them for their work, the amount of money we both agree with.
You and your community collectively owning and operating a farm is literally a communal farm.
but if some of my friends dont want to work it they can just sell me the land. And if we produce more food than we need we can sell it so we can buy other things we don’t produce. I dont understand why its wrong to own a farm.
Keeps the means of production out of the hands of the wealthy.
who even makes farms at that point?
The government, literally the only option left when you take away the rich and poor.
And who will make sure they don’t abuse their power? Its basic human nature to be greedy. Who chooses the government? People voting?

Its basic human nature to be greedy.

I’m so sorry you believe that.

Its sad but its true. Not everyone is bad but a lot of people are, if you don’t believe that you are very sheltered.

People aren’t born bad. They’re made that way.

Capitalism has trained you to see your neighbor as your enemy. It’s a tragedy!

Odd when I apply this theory to people like say Jeff Bazos it kinda comes off funny.

Oh those poor evil billionaires are just needing help, will someone not think of the tragic local monopoly man?

He does need help!

He needs reeducation and rehabilitation, preferably in a facility where he can learn to be human again.
