I thought owning the means of production was the point, but requiring a consistent argument from a communist is like requiring a consistent argument from a communist.

"Common ownership" as in the workers collectively own the means of production. You, individually, don't get to own it, but a union of workers, a local collective, or the state might own it and decisions would be made, ostensibly, by the workers who make up those entities.

or the state might own it

In other words... the workers don't own squat.

An individual can't own the means of production, it's supposed to be "owned" by the people. I'm not a communist, but that argument never changed.
