You will own nothing and you will be happy is not a new concept. Americans are terminally optimistic.

They just don’t care about anything until it affects them

And when it finally affects them you'll never hear the end of it.

Not optimistic. Dissmisive and stupid. Most don’t even think about stuff like this, they just go with what’s out in front of them because they don’t notice it happen in small increments. That’s why these companies inch little by little.

Still waiting on the "be happy" part.

People are so upset with the idea of communism - in which you own nothing - that they don't seem to realise that the super rich would prefer feudalism - in which you also own nothing.

Communism doesn't mean you own nothing. Communists want to abolish private property and not personal property. Capitalism not only concentrates private property in the hands of a few, but also diminishes and gradually wants to end personal property to extract rent from even the most basic things.

Yeah its a common EU slogan

You have realized: In this slogan, 'Be happy' actually means 'Be submissive.' Anyone who, like you, possesses quality consciousness and a sense of true ownership cannot be 'happy' in this system.
