| And a computer isn't a means of production? Why don't you break that one to Silicon valley? Or anyone using a computer to prepare a job application. Or anyone who sells on eBay. Or anyone who uses their PC to buy something. The line is far, far too grey to seperate: either individuals have property rights, or they don't.
The idea that the "ownership of property by individuals harms the majority" is not a fact, but an analytical conclusion from a given ideological position. The two are quite different things. From a capitalist position, one can say that the ownership of property by individuals benefits the majority. Either position can supply evidence to support their contradictory claims, depending on the interpretation that one takes on the data. |
