I'm from eastern Europe. In the soviet era noone could own private property, everything was belonging to the state. Then, the state rationed food to you, allowed you to use one of their homes in exchange for labour, allowed selling produce on government-controlled prices, and buying in predetermined quantities.
So let me ask a question. When you buy a home with all your life savings, does it become yours? What makes it differ from the soviets? I mean, obviously they recorded your rights to the building on paper, and now they record it in digital databases. But is it REALLY that different? You don't truly own either. It's all the government's promise to let you access it and keep away whomever should not access it, until they don't.
The only thing you truly own is bitcoin. The rest are promises.
Man, I even agree with you in some points, but I think we are in a much better situation than it was during the Soviet Union... even though I did not experience it, I only know what I learned in school.
Anyway... if you really look at it, I agree that there's a big difference, considering that the state/government can simply take what we have if we dont pay taxes, for example. But the difference now is that we have much more freedom to sell, rent, inherit, or modify our assets with considerable autonomy in a country with good laws. This was completely impossible or much more restricted under the old communist regime, right?
That's why my opinion is that we shouldn't evaluate the difference between communism and capitalism based on whether you or I own something, but rather on the difference between the control and freedom that exist between them.
And of course, for those who want to completely disassociate themselves from the State/governments, Bitcoin is an excellent tool because it cannot be confiscated... you are its true owner (and the only one) as long as you can control the private keys to your wallet.
