We're supposed to own nothing and be happy by 2030 after all.

They hysterically told us for a century that communism is bad, and must be fought tooth and nail to one's dying breath, because under that one literally can't own anything*, and now all other economic options have been neutralised in the public perception they openly declare that the endgame for capitalism is to make all goods into services - at which point we regular peons really would own literally nothing - and expect us to simply acquiesce.

If ever an accusation turned out to be an unconscious confession of intent all along, it was surely that.

*Untrue, by the way; Marxian economics draws a key distinction between private property ("capital"), and personal property.  Strictly speaking, hard socialism and communism only really forbid that the former be treated as the latter, whereas capitalism by practical definition treats them as synonymous.
