    Ehh… I wouldn’t say socialism affirms communism. At least far less than it condemns capitalism.

    Nobody currently alive is going to accept private property entering a gray area where if you produce with it, suddenly it’s not your property any more.

      That’s not really how socialism or communism works, though. It isn’t a legalistic moral code, but the adoption of collectivized production at a global scale.

      Speak for yourself, there are plenty of people alive that would be fine with there being no more private property. Personal property isn’t the same thing, and it’s fine producing something with it, there would be tools available to all to rent out or use, what’s so wrong with that? In fact tool libraries already exist, as do worker owned co-ops.
