Comment by subsaharancoder 1 day ago "you will own nothing and be happy"..no thank you! 11 comments subsaharancoder Reply wateralien 1 day ago Fair enough. But you do realize that all ownership is a made-up shared fiction that most people believe as real. ifdefdebug 1 day ago As long as trying to break that fiction has real-world consequences like jail time etc., it will work anyway. RandomLensman 1 day ago That is sufficient to make it real for most intents and purposes. nh23423fefe 1 day ago Why is this skeptical property anti-realism useful? This argument obviously proves too much. jplrssn 1 day ago I always thought the “you will own nothing” expression referred to a Gini coefficient of 1, not 0.The intent of abolishing private property would presumably be the latter. inigyou 1 day ago Capitalists say "you will own nothing" and want a Gini coefficient of 1. Communists don't say "you will own nothing" - they say "abolish private property" and refer to a Gini coefficient of 0. hughw 1 day ago communists really say "social ownership of the means of production" 2 replies → rexpop 1 day ago Depends on if you're scaremongering about Capitalists or Commies. jplrssn 1 day ago That’s true. But in a world with monthly toothbrush subscriptions one of those end states feels much closer than the other.
