I'm baked and deleted a paragraph because it turned to rambling.
I don't like corporations owning housing.
How does no private property square with something like a car, that costs money to produce, has less inherent value than a home, and depreciates in value unlike a home?
I think I understand, but it gets murky for me after a point. Not trying to argue, just learn.
The idea is, we abolish the concept of private property, but retain the concept of personal property.
Personal property being stuff that's used by one person, or ome family, or one small group, and ownership rights come from that use.
So a car would be the personal property of the driver or drivers who use it - the same as a computer or microwave or toothbrush would be the personal property of the person or people who used it. You drive it, you fuel it, you repair it, and that's what makes it yours.
How to produce and distribute goods (like houses and cars and toothbrushes) without a system of private property, purchase, and ownership is a major site of leftist contention ๐
Word, thank you, and anybody else that commented on my stoned Wondering. I agree in concept but it's always difficult to imagine in practice because we've all just lived with this
If we can't dream big, all we can do is maintain the status quo. And the status quo kind of sucks.
