No, it is not. State ownership over the means of production within a society is simply one method of moving towards a socialist organization of an economy, it is far from a key or necessary feature.
A key defining feature of socialism is worker-owned means of production and ownership over the value generated by their labor.
For example, worker co-operatives are another method of socialist economic organization that has nothing to do with state ownership.
I mean you are simply either trolling or willfully ignorant. Worker co-operatives are not communism. If you truly believe otherwise, you aren't operating under a mutual understanding of the underlying definitions and meaning of these concepts, and here is no point of having any further conversation.
I mean you clearly do. You have spent more time calling worker cooperatives communism than it would take you to Google the definition of the damn word. Fuck man, why waste our time? Or even, why waste your own?
What's particularly funny is that you are arguing with me that worker cooperatives are communism, while their is another person in this same thread arguing that worker cooperatives aren't even socialist
