No but state owned is the exact definition of communist. China has a communist government which allows a high degree of market/capitalist activity.

The anarchist communists that have existed for at least 180 years would probably disagree with you.

I have no idea what an anarchist communist is but I think this conversation got way off track. A communist country’s defining feature is that the public has (ostensibly) ownership of property which is typically through the state.

If you live on a literal commune somewhere of course the reality will be different.

The original conversation was regarding who produces pollution, a capitalist or communist nation, with my point being that it doesn’t matter what the form of government is.
