AHC successful collective farms

Many people did do the minimum amount of work required, or, when doing more, did so more out of peer pressure than any real desire for results.

Well, there could be a point system giving more of the collective's profits to those who also work more...

Building on that, it's impossible to prove, but it's very possible that people worked harder on their private plots not because of the financial incentives, but simply because it was "theirs".

This is a quite problematic argument since, starting with the Industrial Revolution, most people now work for corporations that aren't "their's" and they still work hard enough to keep economic growth and technological progress growing.

Incorrect. There are also fairly massive Hutterite communities in Canada, who basically do a 'collective farm' thing, and are very successful.
