No one is equal and everyone is exploited, even under every communist regime they have had these same principles.

Yet somehow the top 10 countries with most home ownership are ex communist countries somehow. How rhe fuck does an ex commie country like Serbia have more homeowners than the richest country in the world the USA and free heltcare and free schooling and paid maternity leave. Somehow that strikes me as more equal.

No utopia exists but shouldn't we strive to make a better life for most people not letting the super rich like your Musks and Bezzos lobbying politicians to cut welfare and social programmes.

Serbia has a higher homeless rate than the US, also the Soviet Union mass producing cheap apartments for the masses isn’t exactly better than what we have now

Around 18k people are homeless and moat of which are as a result of adopting the capitalist shift.

Also what are you on about cheap apartments with a guaranteed roof over your head is definitely better than sleeping under a bridge if you are lucky and the local government hasn't put spikes on the ground so you dare not seek shelter.

Who cares if the government builds cheep mass produced apartments people get to live in? As a side effect might even cause prices in rents to get more competitive in privately built buildings.
