    You’re making exactly the right-libertarian point the meme mocks.

    Explain why you think “private property” should get special privileges.

      Because if it’s mine, I can do what I want with it. Did you build it? Contribute anything? It’s only communistic if you actually contribute. People often forget that part of communism. You have to contribute just as much to have a say. Thats why it’s for the WORKERS. So if you aren’t involved, you don’t have a say to my property.

      Also, again, your point is moot in the face of my initial comment. The internet is a public utility (Atleast it should be). Facebook is a private one, and isnt yours. You have no right to it if you didn’t contribute

        This isn’t really accurate. Communism is about full, collectivized ownership, not tiny cells of cooperatives. Everyone across society should have equal ownership of production across society. We should certainly work towards sublimating private property and eliminating class, but we shouldn’t say that factory A worker A is the only one that has a say about what goes on in factory A, that would go horribly with central planning.

        If this is Walmart we’re talking about then I sure as hell contributed to their success by subsidizing their underpaid employees with food stamps.
