        Under the European system of monarchies the king owned all land in the kingdom. On that legacy King Charles III and the pope are still the two largest landowners in the world. Were the British Empire and the Roman Empire communist?

        E: The US federal government owns about 27% of the land in the US including the majority of Washington DC. State governments own about another 7% and local governments another 2%. That’s more than a third of the country. What’s the tipping point? How far are we from becoming communist based on land ownership?

          So if the land is not owned by a monarch and 0% is privately owned, it’s not communism?

          It’s appalling that people don’t want to claim any government has ever been truly communist because all the ones that claimed to be turned into authoritarian shit shows.
