He’s confusing socialism, the state owning the means of production, with agrarian communalism, the voluntary sharing of resources and labor. Many Midwesterners are for the latter, but you’d better keep your hands off their property, and your nose out of their business.

What you describe is fascism, that overused and abused epithet, the favorite of the ignorant criminal insane..
Communism controls the means of distribution; fascism controls the means of production.
Given no other choices, my preference is fascism...

The old traditional barn raising comes to mind. A farmer didn't mind helping out his neighbor cuz he might need help one day too. Also that pesky Christian thingy.(sarc)But you did mind your own business.
