One of the great ironies of political thought is that Free Enterprise is the closest thing to TRUE community ownership of property there is. Who actually decides how a piece of farming land is used in such a society? We say that a particular farmer “owns” a piece of farming land, but if the farmer does not make an efficient use of it that adequately satisfies the other members of the society, the society in a sense (through the market) takes it away from him and gives It to someone who will better meet their agricultural needs. Socialism is not the community ownership of property, it is the complete control of property by a political leader or oligarchy.
