The less you own the more communism it is.

The more you own the more capitalism it is.

Broke: living under capitalism with socialist characteristics

Woke: living under feudalism with communist characteristics

This also applies to being communist. Owning things is bourgeois. Real communists don't bathe because they have neither a shower nor soap.

For those who don't know, this is a quote from outside Davos after the world's richest met for their annual fuck the poors festival, called the World Economic Forum.

Everything capitalist accuse communists of Capitalists are busy actually doing.

Yup, they were imagining a future where basically everything is leased/rented from a company.

Of course then the conspiracy theorists took this to mean the billionaires were secretly communists lmao.

The less you own the more communism it is.

The more you own the more capitalism it is.

So communism for 99% of the population,

Capitalism for 1% of the population.

........ My god he's right.

I guess cars with heat seats are capitalism. Not owning the ability to heat them is communism. So such car is a capitalistic product with communistic intends.
