 Since when does  @Jeff Booth believe the state should own the means of production?

Title was a little bit of clickbait but def q bit over the top to censor!! Human sensitivity is a feature and bug!!  
 I watched the video. Most of the actual content was good.

That is not what communism means, and is borderline defamatory.

Communism is NOT everything becoming so abundant that there is no need to have private property, and that will never happen anyway. That simply is not what communism is. Rather, it is defined by state ownership of the means of production. Without that, it's not really communism at all, and therefore inaccurate to characterize Jeff Booth as a communist.

When you characterize someone as a communist when they absolutely are not, but actually believe in the principles of private property and free markets, that isn't just click-bait. That's being intentionally dishonest for attention.
