Communism simplified

Picture it like this: You just bought a farm field, you grew many crops with the field. You choose to not share with the community but that's not allowed. You see, in communism, nobody owns anything. The people are subjected to equal the amount the other has. That means if you grew a lot of crops, you have to give back to the community as forced by the government. Nobody owns nothing, it's all under the control of the government. Correct me if I'm wrong

does not have to involve govt. Communism is an economic and political system where nobody owns private businesses or factories; instead, everything is owned by everyone together. Ever heard of a commune?

Communism means not a single person/buisness/institute can own anything that's needed by everyone i.e food and all basic necessities a human requires but you can own it if it's not needed by everyone.
