Do you think socialists are out to collectivize your toothbrush?
No, the siezing of factories and large estates is not equivalent to siezing your sewing needles or your backyard garden. They seize these means of production because their previous ownership was about denying people access to the means of production, not because they don’t think individuals should have their own means of production.
Sure. But that doesn’t mean the people living in a specific house own that house.
I’m not even criticizing China on this one. It seems like a good system. It’s just funny how the CCP seems to desperately need to be #1 on every list, even when it makes no sense like home ownership in a nation where nobody owns their home.
“Home ownership” means owning your home. You can argue the semantics. But at the end of the day either you own your home or not. And in China you do not.
Then you don’t own it in a western country either because as soon as you stop paying your property tax then you lose your home. You’re just regurgitating nonsense without actually thinking about it.
Land that they don’t actually own, right? The government owns it and leases it?

In practical terms, they own it in exact the same way a person owns a home in any western country.

never heard of eminent domain?
