“Communism doesn’t work because people like to own stuff.”
Communism doesn’t work because humans HAVE to own stuff to be human.
Stuff is an evolutionary extension of our bodies and minds. If you don’t own your stuff you don’t own your existence.
In case you haven’t been reminded lately:
Paychecks are private property and not government subsidies.
Most of you would defend your home and family with deadly force. But you won’t sacrifice much to defend your paycheck (your existence) against politicians and their thievery.
I am assuming that you use “you” in the most general sense.
One should never assume.
