Just putting it out there that "property owning" is not the class deliniator! I "own" my house/property and the only differences are that i pay rent to a bank instead of a landlord, and i can knock holes in the walls if i want to.

I'm still pretty much paycheck to paycheck, squarely in the working class.

Of course you're working class. It's about the owners of Capital property. Does your house that you own (which I doubt since you imply you have a mortgage) make money for you?

It's us versus a very small number of them.

Well technically thanks to the rising housing cost crisis I've gained about 50k in equity in the past 3 years. Does that count?

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I would say no.

do you get to spend that money and keep your house?
