> a core tenant that every member in a communist society collectively owns everything

Everyone owns the world oceans (“common heritage of humanity”). How is that going for its fisheries and sea bottoms.

Yeah man I don't think co-op fisheries are the problem here.

    Co-op fisheries are owned by the co-op. They aren’t a problem and regulate access.

    Common heritage fisheries are trawled unregulated because when everyone owns something, nobody owns it.

    For the communist model to work, the state has to own everything. Which in practice means apparatchiks control everything.

      At first I used co-op's because I just assumed you meant democratically controlled companies rather than "communism" and now I know you don't know what communism means.

      "state has to own anything" is an extremely funny idea for a stateless society.
