Their logic:
If something is clear, it is easily understood. Thus, "clearly don't understand" is a contradiction in terms, making it an oxymoron.

My understanding, however limited, is that "property" means something different in this context. Essentially, it means things like real estate and businesses, things that make money. You can own food, clothes, a TV, watches, a car, whatever you want, as long as it doesn't make money.
If you wanted to start a business, you probably could, and you wouldn't need to pay for it. The State would own the business, and you would be paid to run that business. This absolves you of all the risk associated with it, and you get paid more than a grocery store shelf stocker because you're doing a harder job, and thus demonstrating greater ability.
If a country ever implements true communism it will experience extreme brain drain and be left with only the most unskilled people.
I'm not sure where you got this idea from. I'm not particularly informed on the subject, but when I look up the dictionary definition of communism, I get this:
a political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.
Emphasis mine. If people with more ability are paid more, then they shouldn't be flocking out of the country, right?
I agree with the overall sentiment. The money you're saving in cat food is only going to lead to vet bills later on.
I'll fight you on whether or not chonkers can be cute, though.
