I thought owning the means of production was the point, but requiring a consistent argument from a communist is like requiring a consistent argument from a communist.
"Common ownership" as in the workers collectively own the means of production. You, individually, don't get to own it, but a union of workers, a local collective, or the state might own it and decisions would be made, ostensibly, by the workers who make up those entities.
In other words... the workers don't own squat.
Depends to what extent the state can be said to truly represent the workers.
