If everyone has equal ownership, there is no "mono"poly.

Private ownership requires a monopoly on violence to exist, if you can't defend it there are no rights.

Yes, absolutely. How would one win over with individual ownership? One dude with a couple guns vs an entire community?

Nah, might makes right for them, lol

Private Property cannot exist without a state. That which gives private property legitimacy is a monopoly of violence, otherwise you have a winner-takes-all might makes right system.

Collective ownership of property can be enforced via the collective itself, without a need for a governing body.

Anarchism is certainly idealistic, but Anarcho-Capitalism is pure fantasy.

It doesn't have to.

Returning home after work, hands freezing as they touch the cold metal doorknob. Turning on lamps, lighting candles, making a lovingly tender and warm cup of coffee, snuggling up with a pet and a partner on a couch, cozy under the various old blankets you've collected over the years, and playing Stardew Valley, Skyrim, or any other comfort game together.

Grab some warm stew or curry, throw on a well-loved hoodie, and enjoy the security and hospitality you give yourself and your family.

Warm pie and cookies for dessert, and a book to sip on and savor.

Yep, that's the biggest downside. I look here first, and if nothing, go elsewhere. What it does have is excellent though.

Not exactly piracy, but if the book in question is public domain, my favorite site is Standard eBooks! Very high quality books, with proper formatting and translations.
