Oh shut up. If human nature is based on greed because you see people taking more than they need, then it's equally if not more based on mutual aid, since you have doubtlessly also seen people sacrifice their own desires and needs for the love of others. Why is one human nature, but not the other?

Where is greed in open source? Where is greed in volunteer work?

You're right, not necessarily

Could all be summed up in the last one: capitalism

The march of progress laughs at your "questions"

First off, that wealth being stolen comment is about capitalist extracting surplus value from workers.

Also, the state is forcing me to rent, or otherwise live on the street. I am unable to mortgage due to bad credit. Renting is the only option.

So you’re dependant on the government

How, exactly?

can’t (not allowed to) do anything about it

What do you mean by "do something about it"?

My car can make money, my computer can make money

...From you using it. That's not private property. That's a tool. It only becomes private property if you plan to rent it out or employ others to work it for you.

but i guess im not allowed to do it if big daddy Lenin doesn’t want me to.

???

People who can will leave in flocks.

Leave what? You didn't even describe a system, there. Those were vague buzzwords.

Modernising is essential maintenance.

What do you think maintenance means?

Yo man

You seem to assume that lefties are against fascism, but don't decry previous colonialism?

Why?

Allow me to present to you a person who hates Nazis AND the British Empire: Me!

Your argument only defeats theirs if their argument was "old buildings are perfect and will never benefit from renovation"

But they didn't say that, did they?

So, exactly what I said. Noted. You want the "freedom" to survive off someone else's work, while not having to work yourself.

Freedom to me is being able to own your own home, and not having the wealth you created stolen by some absent owner.

That's what free market means
