Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my city - or should I say, "our city". I don't own anything. I don't own a car. I don't own a house. I don't own any appliances or any clothes.
Theoretically this (mostly) sounds fine. If there were a revolution before then and therefore people don’t “own” anything (no private property), they instead collectively own the means of production and borrow public things when they need them. However, knowing the WEF, it’s clear they are trying to trick us into thinking our “benevolent” bourgeois overlords will just allow us to have nice stuff once technology has progressed enough. Whereas in real life, what would happen is the capitalist class would genocide everyone who isn’t necessary to provide for their luxurious life.

Even without reading the article, from the description alone it seems to be purposefully mixing up private property and personal property.
