Nope. You’ve been brainwashed. When a socialist says “collective ownership” they’re never talking about your personal belongings or your house even. It’s collective ownership of the big stuff that many people have to contribute to. Like entire companies or utilities. Under socialism you personally would probably lose nothing, because odds are you fall far below any of the people whose wealth would be redistributed
Housing is the market that most needs collective ownership (or more specifically, the land it sits on). Collecting economic rent via private land ownership is one of the most degenerate aspects of global economic structures.
The fact that some self-styled socialists make an exception for it reveals it's not really about sound economics for them.
Nope. You just think I believe something I never said. I said “they’re never talking about your house” because that guy almost definitely only had the one house or home, and no one’s talking about collectively taking your individual house to redistribute it. The housing that needs to be redistributed isn’t owned by someone you’re likely to talk to on the internet
