You should not need to be told, in 2026, why #capitalism and #liberalism are bad.

#PrivateProperty, #WageLabor, and #commodity #production are inherently #exploitative and #competitive, and always lead to #crisis, #inequality, and #imperialism.

The #progressive unfolding of #history toward #metaphysical #rights of the #individual to own, buy, and sell #property (assured by the #state of course) is a #narrative tool that diverts us from #ClassConsciousness and idealizes exploitation.

Reminder that private property and personal property are not the same. The more you know, the harder the chains tremble.

Unpopular opinion: If you own a mansion and leave it sitting empty, you have too many houses and squatters have every right to move in and take it over.

Nobody needs more than one house, especially when there are hundreds of thousands of people in this country alone living in the streets.

Fuck your rich people "property rights."

(this rant brought to you by a creator I follow talking about a woman who went to jail for squatting a two million dollar mansion and moved right back in after she was released from jail)

Simon Fairlie on Enclosure

'the common ownership of land, and the history of its enclosure, provides a template for understanding the enclosure of other common resources, ranging from the atmosphere and the oceans to pollution sinks and intellectual property. The physical fences and hedges that staked out the privateownership of the fields of England, are shadowed by the metaphorical fences that now delineate more sophisticated forms of private property'
