I am not. I literally said I was not in the comment you are replying to. I am only saying that ownership exists/existed in socialist states (regardless that it wasn't identical to ownership in America, it was there), therefore the Twitter user is wrong on the facts.
What the cartoon guy on Twitter did is express themselves in an intentionally confrontational and engagement-baiting way instead of just constructively saying what they meant. The result is that if they did have a serious point, it was lost in the controversy because their original comment (in the OP) could easily be interpreted as "evict everyone who owns a house".
It was written on purpose to be read uncharitably. We are in a thread replying to a second screenshot where the user doubled down and said no one was allowed to own land in any socialist state, which is simply not true. In the very same comment as that screenshot, Alaskaball posted a screenshot of the constitution of the USSR affirming the right to ownership of one's dwelling as personal property. Whether the nature of that ownership was identical to the ownership a resident has of their home in America is irrelevant, the point is that the Twitter user's statement is factually incorrect.
This type of tone is a similar form of engagement-farming to what you see on Twitter. It's counterproductive to having a good conversation.
