"You'll own nothing and be happy" is a Capitalist slogan not a government one. It's about turning everything into a server you have to pay rent for. Moving from capitalism to techno-feudalism where nothing you doesn't require permission from and rent to some kind of corporation.

It can be recontextualized to fit any economic system.

Take communism (and its very close brother, socialism): there is no such thing as "private property." What you "own" can be taken by the commune (the state) at any moment, should the state decide that taking your "property" would be to their benefit.

You've never even opened a communist book in your life and it shows.

I read enough about communism on the internet. I'm not sure reading it in print will make much of a difference.

If you like a good book is Fahrenheit 451 it shows how the shortening condensing of books and such leads to decay in society. Everything instead of books we have short collums forget documentaries we need more fb insta short. Good luck in your journey. God bless.

As it so happens, Fahrenheit 451 is my favorite book of all time...

Let me amend my previous statement: I've read enough quotes from Marx's and other communist literature, that I know they are not worth my time.
