Hypothetical generosity is easy

Idk bro, I wouldn't give them one of my horses until I have at least another more to breed, either
- Exactly. No, you can't have my breeding pair, but you can definitely have one of the offspring.
- Same with the cars lol
  
  You can find a dragon to help with that
  
  You can rent out my car as a stud for yours.

That's not how communal ownership works.
- Am I missing something? This never was about communal ownership but about generosity.
  
  'comrade' seems to make it a dig at communism or sharing economies in general.
- Why would there be communal ownership of personal goods? The stuff is alexi 's
- I get it: because it doesn't work.
  
  No it works great. We see co-ops all the time across the globe. Humans are a naturally cooperative species.
  What clearly doesn’t work is private ownership as we can see from the current state of the world.
  
  It's worked for all of human history and works today all over the world. If your family aren't monsters you've not only experienced it but actively participated in it and if you're not a sociopath you should be doing it right now with your neighbors given that's how neighborhoods function.
  
  Worked for about 100,000 years actually
