    Own Nothing and be happy

    Just had a thought about Klaus's words.

    What if Klaus is giving the out with the phrase itself?

    Wouldn't it be best to own nothing but control the assets/property...?


    Just ramblings...

    If you should be relying on fiat money to own something then you have the illusion of ownership without actual ownership. In other words just stop worrying about it because your actions chose your outcome.

    I am just saying, we live in a corporate/dead world.

    Why not use their tools to our advantage?

    They live in a dead corporate world. I live in a watershed (as instructed by the EPA)

    There aren't any McDonalds or Starbucks here so why bother to collect paper corporate coupons?

    That's what Marx said.


    ya know when you get to the end of Karl Marx's manifesto when all private property goes to government and government gets so big it basically disappears and the thesus seems unfinished?


    Behold Corporatism.
    They went to war with Human Nature, Cold and Flu Season and the Weather!
    Corporation, a fiction legitimized by government, is part of big government
    Their men were like women and their women were like Jews
