Why is it such a crazy idea that the public should own the means of production? (lemmy.ca)

We have lost all sense of self preservation. Almost like we the gipity. Which came first the gipity or the ape? I swear chain smoking monkeys driving cars.

I think shared ownership goes against human nature

I think the vast majority of things are shared. Air, water, soil... roads, schools... your education.... the bathrooms at the supermarket... the murals/sculptures that make your town look less like a shithole...

It's perfectly in line with human nature, actually, to share things. People who amass hoards of wealth and fight for power and control... those are the weirdos.
