I lived in Germany in the early 80s, his home town of Trier. The house is now a museum that charges to get in and sells Commie info and gifts. I laughed at the woman behind the counter and she asked me why I was laughing. I told her really? I then told her that it was the fact that you are being a capitalist!
“Property”, can be many things. Being elected to high office is a form of property. Being named a judge for life is a form of property. Having a soapbox from which to speak louder than others (e.g. high profile news media, high profile entertainers, political pundits, etc.) is a form of property. More to the point, those forms of ‘property’ give those who hold them a much stronger ability to ‘maintain their place over laborers’ (i.e., the rest of us) than anyone making $1 million a year has. The left has a huge contingent of elites. Many of them have tons of money, but that's irrelevant. More relevant is that they have power, as their most precious property, and they guard that property with significant fervor.
