For me a socialist system is a system without care. If you don't own your home, you don't care if someone spray paints or shatters a window in the place you rent. You shrug at the damage. Meanwhile, you don't own the street so if there is broken glass lying in the street, you don't sweep it up.

Another great hit in the genre of "person tries to critique communism by describing capitalism." Or maybe this person lives in an alternate reality where landlords are really quick about fixing things and all the privately owned streets are spotless.

It's really telling on themselves, "Human nature is to not care about anything past my nose" No you're just an asshole and are projecting that onto everyone else. Like I've picked up trash while walking places because it's the right thing to do?

But if the streets are spotless (as they literally often were in the USSR because full employment means paying street sweepers is a thing you do, and not just have community service workers or criminals do it) that is a sign that people are oppressed (insert Parenti quote here)

so all public infrastructure must be publically owned, right? if it's only porky-happy who owns the street, then soviet-chad is going to litter all the time. if own the street collectively, no littering. right? right?
