You can't demand systemic change, greater distribution of wealth and the liberation of workers from the ownership class if you have a house. If you have a house then those things are not possible. Having a house invalidates your participation in a society and any critiques of the economy.

The reason the soviets lost is because they had houses. Having a house is active participation in capitalism. Houses did not exist before and they will not exist after. So the only reasonable way to be a socialist is to sell your house. Then make a little house out of the money and sell that. All the way down until you have nothing left and then you will be halfway on your way to being a socialist but not until you sell your phone.. let me explain.

      True story: When I was a laborer I never thought to use the straps to pull my workboots on, I just jammed my foot in using my finger as a makeshift shoehorn... until I heard the phrase about bootstraps and learned they were the tabs on the back of work boots. I dunno I though they were vestigial there for the sake of it . So I thought, thats a good idea, it'll save me the mild finger discomfort. So I tried to pull them on using the bootstraps for the first time ever, and they snapped clean off.

      Some sort of metaphor for capitalism or do I just have pudding hands? Could be either.
