    Wow everything about this post is garbage. The humans you can find on Twitter are amazing.

    1. Hbomber is not even a communist (although he makes good videos)

    2. Communists don’t want to abolish ALL property. Just private property.

    3. Yes intellectual property is fake but being against someone making money from the work of others is in line with communist ideals.

    Plagiarism is not pirating. Before copyright existed I doubt it would be socially acceptable to just steal people’s ideas as your own.

    When I showed a pirated copy of Star Wars to my partner, I didn’t claim I made the movie.

      Actually the concept changed a lot over time. A few centuries ago it was perfectly acceptable to take someone’s story and characters and retell it in your own way, but copying someone’s style was frowned upon.

    Intellectual property is indeed fake, but in a capitalist society it’s supposed to at least make living off your own creative work possible. Supporting that is completely different than supporting private property which is property owned and worked by other people for profit.
