You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?
The full context of the quote is, while yes, the prospect of the complete elimination of private property is terrifying for some people (even socialists), the idea is that in the future, you won't need to own anything and your life will be simpler and theoretically more fulfilling if we're not preoccupied with owning things and keeping up with the Joneses.
but you'll notice that it doesn't say "we'll own nothing and be happy". they're not willing to take the medicine they prescribe for you. they're part of the class that's destined to own everything.
