    Do you own your house? or do you still pay a mortgage?

    Do you own your car? or do you still pay for it through the bank?

    Do you have debt you can’t finish paying until the day you die?

    Then you are you not a capitalist because you own nothing … you own no capital.

      I own my house, my shitbox car, have 0 debt, and a healthy savings account. I’m still not a capitalist, because fundamentally I make my living through my own labor. That’s the difference.
