Interesting quote from Jefferson:
“That, on the principle of a communion of property, small societies may exist in habits of virtue, order, industry, and peace, and consequently in a state of as much happiness as Heaven has been pleased to deal out to imperfect humanity, I can readily conceive, and indeed, have seen its proofs in various small societies which have been constituted on that principle. But I do not feel authorized to conclude from these that an extended society, like that of the United States or of an individual State, could be governed happily on the same principle.”—Thomas Jefferson to Cornelius Camden Blatchly, 1822
So it doesn’t sound like he objected to communal property in principle, but he didn’t think that it was practicable on a large scale.
