    End goal; you will own nothing, and you’ll be happy. Also work harder and don’t advance.

      Isn’t that kind of where the current system is inching towards anyways? Rent, subscriptions, bullshit jobs and all that.

        No it isn’t. Communism eliminates private property. E.G. Land ownership. (You lease land from the state)

        It does not get rid of personal property. You’re still allowed to own things. A phone, a car, books, anything that is movable; pretty much anything except land and maybe buildings.

        I’m not even a fan of communism but this is just an ignorant misconception.

        Get that shit out of here bub. Everybody knows that communism is when capitalists exploit you and steal all your hard-earned money so you stay poor while they keep raking in record profits.
