Dude why do people think communism means you can't own anything. There's a difference between private and personal properties. You can own a house, and a car, hell even a whole farm. What you cannot do is hold capital.

So when does a farm go from personal to private property? Is it the moment you rent it or employ other people on it?

It's an oversimplification, but.... Sort of, yeah. Property you "own" to keep from others, and make money from owning it.

Not sure what you mean

Rule of thumb and there are always exceptions, land that you live and work on is usually personal property, land that you own but someone else pays you for the privilege of living and working on is private property.

One of the thousands of nuanced use cases that generalist communist revolutionaries haven't even thought about let alone have the skills to provide solutions for.

They have a solution, it's labor camps or bullets to any citizen who doesn't follow orders.

Wild how even when they were going full-on gulags , their peak imprisonment rate didn't surpass the United States. And we've got plenty of bullets for those that run or resist arrest.
