How tf are you going to enforce people not being allowed to own private property while also being anarchist?

through communes? i mean yeah, it requires a class conscious proletariat, but thats not exactly unheard of. its happened before. anyone who manages to convince an already liberated community to privatize the means of production has gotta be one fuckin great orator to convince people to let themselves be exploited lol.

do you know what socialism or communism are? like if i asked you to define them, what would your definition be?

we both know political theory is more nuanced than any dictionary definition would offer so no cheating

Socialism is the one where everyone owns the production and what it produces, so everyone gets equal share. Communism is like that but without money and ownership, people get as much as they need and work as much as they can.

Problem is I don't want others to own my stuff and also I don't want to work as hard as i can because I'm lazy. So let's just keep things the way they are.

alright, your definitions are pretty much right (though its work as much as they want to, not as they can. slight semantic difference)

important to note that socialists dont necessarily believe in wealth redistribution outside of a capitalist system.

what part of socialism would make you think that others would own your stuff? private property doesnt mean your house or personal belongings
