You could have a personal garden, but to have a farm you'd have to obtain a lot of land. Then you'd have to make the land productive with either large and resource hungry machinery i.e. capital or you'd have to obtain and exploit the labor of farm workers to work by hand.
You and your community collectively owning and operating a farm is literally a communal farm.
Personal property is for personal use. That's it.
Once you start to accumulate surplus property then its very obviously not personal anymore. A person that doesn't want a garden won't have one to sell you, because they wouldn't have one in the first place.
Don't think in terms of "right" and "wrong". Think materially.
You can't even imagine helping your neighbors, huh?
You overestimate how much the average person cares for people they don’t know.
Keep telling on yourself.
A person who could actually assemble a farm through small land acquisitions through the power of friendship probably deserves it tbh
You're talking about using your personal connections within the community to slowly assemble a farm from small acquisitions like their deceased father's garden and then leveraging those connections to find people to help you work the land. People that don't need to give you their land and don't need to work your land, they're actually choosing to do it freely. That'd actually be amazing if it ever happened.
That basically has zero relation with how farms work under capitalism.
Who decides what constitutes surplus?
Substance farming is different than owning a farm that exists by its own production of food and selling those produced goods at market price.
Keeps the means of production out of the hands of the wealthy.
The government, literally the only option left when you take away the rich and poor.
I'm so sorry you believe that.
It is not greedy to want to live and to have personal property! That's literally what the OP is about!
People aren't born bad. They're made that way and they need help.
Capitalism has trained you to see your neighbor as your enemy. It's a tragedy!
Odd when I apply this theory to people like say Jeff Bazos it kinda comes off funny.
Oh those poor evil billionaires are just needing help, will someone not think of the tragic local monopoly man?
He does need help!
He needs reeducation and rehabilitation, preferably in a facility where he can learn to be human again.
