RE: Collective vs. Private Ownership (Part 2 of a Series)
I went and read your first link @freebornangel. Emma Goldman describes Communism as something distinct from Soviet Russia, but she makes the same logical fallacy as every other socialist by saying that you can have joint ownership of something. If resources are scarce, as they tend to be or become as populations grow, joint ownership will result in conflict, and that conflict will necessarily give rise to either state ownership or individual ownership of resources. If the state ends up owning everything, we all know what happens then, starvation and economic collapse. In a word, misery. If individuals own everything, people tend to be well fed, sheltered and prosperous.

Well, the third one actually does a more complete job, as does this one: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/624/624-h/624-h.htm
Communism is something distinct from what happened in Russia as the word socialist says in ussr.
I will make a post detailing my proposal, perhaps you will come offer your opinion there.
