    Someone has to “own” ie control all the things

    That’s an extremely silly statement. Do you really believe in a single global landlord that owns everything that everyone else must pay rent to? If one person owns everything like you say, you just destroyed private ownership.

    You managed to accuse me of being both Marx and a monarchist all while you call to end any private ownership in just one post.

      That is possibly the worst faith interpretation of my statement. Everything is owned by someone not necessarily the same someone. For instance I own and am thus responsible for my property, someone else is responsible for their property hence everything is owned by someone.

      What’s the functional difference between communism and a monarchy? In both cased all property is owned by “the state” and can exercise control over that property however they please. Democracy doesn’t work cos the people have no control of any property and thus are completely beholden to the state. Good luck protesting against the government when you have no food, water, means to communicate, and travel. What are u gonna do about the inevitable authoritarian takeover? Die?

          No it’s not. Even animals fight over territory and property. There are cases of them sharing, yes, but they’re not the absolute norm.

            animals don’t own anything. there is nothing an animal can have that you can’t rightfully take from them.

          Ownership is simply the word we use to describe the person who ultimately controls and is thus responsible for any particularly thing. Please describe a system in ownership isn’t a thing. The only one I can think of is anarchy until someone finds a gun and announces that everything now belongs to them and that their is nothing u can do about it

            it is anarchy. your gunman is a despot, and is not part of anarchism.
