> Capitalism had already largely broken down feudal control of land.
This is in response to a comment about land ownership. So land ownership doesn't mean anything now? This explains why Bill Gates owns more of the US than any other person, right?
> Russia and China tried to go directly from feudalism to socialism.
I thought the goal was communism and socialism was used to get there. And I thought that USSR (not Russia) and China did what Engels would have called "state capitalism."

> Ownership of your suburban lawn just doesn't figure into it.
That's a flippant way to dismiss the GP's question of "individual land ownership."
> it's not what socialist theory is about
You seem to have different ideas about socialism than I do. So what exactly is socialist theory all about? And please explain praxis while you're at it.
