The kind your grandpa was scared of in 1953 maybe. All property collectivized under the control of a scheming bureaucrat isn’t exactly the better world I like to think is possible
If the property is under the control of a single person it isn’t collectivized, It’s privatized. The only reason communists consider property centralized under the control of the state to be collectivized is because they consider the state to be representative of the working class. Personally as an anarchist I think centralization under the state is just another form of privatization because the state - in reality - is not truly representative of the will of the people no matter how democratic it is, though I still consider it preferable for the means of production to be under the control of a democratic state than a few psychopathic billionaires.
I hate theory nerds and would like to recommend to you “civilization will eat itself” by Ran Prieur (probably spelled that wrong)
Personally as some rando I’d like to see anyone who positions themselves in a chokepoint like that fail, whatever they’re claiming to represent. Spread that wealth nice and thin, like oil in a hot pan
Sounds like Sam Altman is a communist. But even under communism personal property is allowed.
