Happy little landowners

You say you're a capitalist? Then where's your damn capital? Do you have investments? Rental apartments? A bitcoin farm? Where is your property that makes you a living by your owning it?

If you're "working" for a living, that'd make you a "worker". You can make a good living, you can provide for others, you can believe in and advocate for capitalism, but that still doesn't make you a capitalist. Not any more than loving Fight Club makes you Brad Pitt.

Me, I'm a disabled pensioner and an unpublished writer. And because I do not believe the contributions of bitcoin farmers, landlords and gamblers enrich society as much as just take away from it, I'm a socialist.
