The communist's goal is to eliminate private property, whereas the capitalist's goal is to eliminate personal property.
Communists make you share the toothbrush, capitalists make you pay to have teeth
Language is a fucking weapon
In my mind it seems like we make significant progress once the average joe understands private property
"meat will be a special treat"
So the same way meat has been consumed by the majority of humans since humanity has existed until very recently?
Inuits:
Honestly a very anti materialist stance. People ate fish, chicken, etc all the time while subsistence farming. In many northern climes like europe it was a necessity for survival. People forget how radically different the world was even 500 years ago in terms of animal diversity and sheer quantities of animals. You could trivially go to a stream and physically grab a fish. People did that all the time. Of course, in the modern day it would be better and more efficient not to.
Other examples include: killing mammoths in droves to make houses out of their bones and eat meat for a whole year, scaring buffalo off a cliff to eat them for basically the rest of the year, clubbing seals almost every day for any sort of sustenance, fishing year round in Europe and pickling it to not starve, cutting horses and drinking their blood and milk in order to survive a migration, archaelogical evidence suggesting early humans mostly were scavengers and natures dumpster, I can keep listing forever.

The pigeons of the apes.
We're not even fast, we're just really sweaty so we can chase things until they die of heat stroke
I think we're saying the same thing. Like you said, prehistoric humans are between 75-80% vegetation (tubers,bark,roots,etc like you said) and 20% meat, which increases a little after fire/cooking/preservation is discovered and is more than apes etc. What I was saying is that the majority of people did not and have not eaten meat every single day in the amounts that the industrial revolution provided, because it was too expensive and could threaten your livelihood (killing cattle for meat now vs milk and more cows later). That doesn't mean they didn't ever eat meat, but that the amounts and frequency were much smaller than today. I don't understand how that is anti-materialist unless I wasn't clear enough in my first comment
Take me out... to Outback, yes i need a take home sack...
I mean aren't we already halfway there? How many people actually own their cars, the house or apartment they live in, their phones, the entertainment that they consume, etc?
Ummm, excuse me... I own my own house and car
is actually over 200,000 dollars in debt
Owning a house in an HOA neighborhood is glorified renting.
The HOA is usually backed by real estate companies or in some cases IS the real estate company. You pay a fee, you cant leave without moving, and you can lose your home if you dont comply to their arbitrary rules.
Wait till you hear about housing complexes with their body corporates...
Also some HOA's can reposes your house for outstanding fines or even just unpaid minor fines, petite fascism at it's finest
under communism there won't be meat (everyone gets forced into being vegan by the hexbear police)
I had a bad dream last night and this comment reminded me of it for a reason, completely unrelated to the dream though
As long as the right are miserable I honestly don't care what happens to me or anyone else so i'm fine with whatever the karl schwab illuminaty soros keebler elf interdimensional satanic alien cabal want to do
Yes private property shouldn't be owned... oh wait, y'all just want perpetual renters for personal property
If the average CHUD realized the WEF's true intentions, they'd sign up in a heartbeat.
THEY don't want to live in the pod....but they sure want YOU to.
"My servants should feel honored they are allowed to rent out my shed as a living space for the entirety of their wages!"
CHUDs on Reddit are convinced this is a plot by all the secret communists who actually run capitalism.
Try pointing out to them that current/former socialist states have very high home ownership rates and they shut down...
Can't believe the WEF negged JT Chapman by using his photo in their promotional material
that can run fast and catch shit on fire oh fuck
