  Capitalism is when the public owns the things. And Communism is when a handful of private individuals owns the things.

    So what’s it called when the government is a handful of private individuals, as opposed to representing the public?

    No… Capitalism is when a handful of individuals own the means of production and have full authority on how they are used.

    Communism is more akin to when the workers decide what to do with the means of production they operate.

    You got this literally backwards.
