What does it mean for workers to collectively own means of production? Am I supposed to own only the laboratory I work at or everything everywhere? What if I decide to change a place of employment? Why doesn't owning it though the intermediary of the state and your representative in the communist party qualify?

    I guess I need to actually read up on the political and electoral system, it's a little much to ask you to explain those to me. I guess you're right that if the people support the state (which they certainly seem to) then it by definition represents the will of the people. If anything at this point I'm just curious how they manage to be so responsive despite governing over a billion people. Thanks for taking the time to reply to me!
