Nah, if you think socialism is about reshuffling class divisions, you’re wrong. Or feel free to cite socialist literature that is encouraging new class divisions.

Why does this matter?
someone who likes to instruct people what socialism should be
I was paraphrasing your argument. When I pointed out this was undoubtedly a single family home, you said I needed to understand the context, and the context you pointed to was another poster was arguing that this was a single family home, not a mansion.
Yep. And socialism last time I checked typically has a problem with people hoarding large amounts far in excess of a reasonable share.
Socialism is about valuing labor? Then why are socialists against capitalism, which already is pretty explicitly about valuing labor?
Lol, no. I responded to you acting like calling this a single family home was ridiculous. You’re the one who was like “Well, actually, in the context of someone saying it’s not a mansion it makes sense,” which it doesn’t, in part because a <4,000 square foot house with 5 beds and 5.5 baths, is not what most people I…
I know what the precise definition of a single family home is. And this is a single family home. That was my point. If he lives in a mansion, I live in a mansion, which, fine, but then calling something a “mansion” isn’t actually saying much useful if it’s just “a larger than average house.”
Using “mental handicap” as an insult, saying that people who don’t do enough of the right kind of work should be denied resources. Truly you are the successor to Noam Chomsky as the intellectual vanguard of the socialist movement.
You can “humorously” misspell “video games” as often as you want, it doesn’t contribute anything to your argument. I think you’re the one who needs to bone up on his socialism. Socialism is not about classifying some labor as “real” work with value, classifying other labor as “not real work” without value, and doling…
I don’t think that’s really the definition of a mansion either. I don’t know anyone who would actually describe this guy’s house (or my house, which again is actually bigger by a bit, square footage wise) as a mansion. It definitely is a single-family home, it is not obviously a mansion (I would actually say it is…
No it really is. Converting cash into a physical asset of your own is still keeping that wealth to yourself, and because inflation it’ll actually increase his wealth by doing so.
It definitely is a single family home. I don’t know what the precise definition of a mansion is, but neither the description of this house nor the pictures I’ve seen of it have struck me as “mansion”; my house actually has more square footage, and just one fewer bedroom and 1.5 fewer bathrooms, and no one has ever…
That all may be true, but the point is that the house he bought is most definitely a single family home. People calling it a single family home are not being weirdos, they are being accurate. That’s what it is. There is no context that changes the fact this is a single family home.
No, it’s a specific difference between knowing he was hoarding wealth and being silent and not knowing he was hoarding millions away and therefore not able to criticise.
A five bedroom, <4,000 square foot house is most definitely a single family home. Saying it is a single family home is not being a weirdo.
What? What about being a leftist precludes you from being financially successful in a capitalist society?
Have you never spent any money on a personal non-necessity?
You’re going to have a lot of trouble getting people to use their platforms to advocate for socialist causes if one of the consequences of doing so is that people get to police where you fucking live.
Do we know that he doesn’t use his money to help people? Seems all we know is that he used some portion of his money on something nice for himself.
