Quite a scary communistic dystopia imo. You will own nothing, but things won't be free. Hopefully it's not applied to everyone by force like previous attempts.

2030 is pretty ambitious, covid accelerated things I suppose. Are we due for another abrupt change to reach this then?
This could be dismissed as fantasy, but the author themselves says it's not intended to be and it's their prediction.
- cassianoleal 5y ago> Quite a scary communistic dystopia Kind of the opposite though. In communism, the people own the means of production collectively. On top of that, private property still exists. People own houses, cars, what else they may need and have access to. No communist ideology as far as I'm aware requires or advocates for the end of privacy. This model, OTOH, centralises the means of production and the right to privacy in the hands of a few oligarchs, whilst the people are left with nothing except for the right (obligation) to work in order to be able to afford rent of somebody else's private property and services.

Sharing ownership means you don't own anything, unless you're the elite in charge of forcing people to share and taking away personal property to be "shared".
