the hidden clause in the ownerless society, that it is not about owning, but about being owned

Still as the left institutionalized, it understood that to win, it had to gradually convince the "middle class" that what they had was worthless, and that security could only come from collective ownership. The ObamaCare debate is a classic example of the left preying on middle class fears about security (with a subtle dose of guilt about the less well off to make the case seem like a moral one) and promising them "ownerlessness" as the preferred alternative to self-reliance.
