    Liberalism is an ideology supporting private property and individualism. Communism doesn’t have a state, but it does have administration, which some consider government, and communism lacks private property.

      If you have an administration then you create a class struggle that will lead to oppression.

      You have private property because the state (public) doesn’t own it, the people do. (That’s private since you seem confused)

          Can the administration control what the commune does? Laws? Policing?

          If so then given time the people who seek it will elevate that position.

          Public ownership under communism doesn’t mean the government (or administration to use your term without a difference) owns it. It means the population has control over whether it is helping (keep) or hurting (remove) society. And the workers are at the forefront of that not politicians or owners.

          You’re aware that liberalism views landowners as a scourge of society because they make money without adding anything to the world but you cannot view said viewpoint from a communist perspective.

          I’ll give you another crazy idea; political parties/governments are corporations. They will put their own survival above that of the people they represent.
