In communism (i shall I stay in the theoretical communism, as many communist states still allow for a limited capitalist economy) the state owns all natural resources. It does have an efficient control over the production,but the production is not very efficient itself. The government does own all state farms, and the production belongs to all people.
The consumers well, might decide what to buy, but their choice is limited, and sometimes their only choice is to buy or not, as they have only one option. Also, people don´t usually employ others: all people should work for the state.
