Right but if he was poor you'd just complain about him being jealous of others wealth... Not to mention prices over there are expensive anyway. Hasan has regularly turned down ways to make more money via passive income even though he could. And socialism doesn't want people to go without homes, decent homes. They want everyone to be housed and be housed in domiciles necessary to their needs. He knows he's privileged. He doesn't think it's millions with better talents rhan he live in squalor.
Me and Hasan disagree on many issues, particularly social issues. But this outrage at him buying a house, with a loan he took out to do so, so he and his family can have decent space to themselves, is rather ridiculous. Its true, he could have chosen another house. But does it really matter? Socialism doesn't want people to live in horrible housing conditions and it doesn't believe in rent. So homeownership is important.
I'm a socialist, I'm not apologizing for recognizing how Capitalism works. Socialism is about the workers and the community owning property, aka land and factories, not homes. That's personal property, like your car or tv. It doesn't contribute to production.

The mainstream progressive left is not the same thing as the old school labor left. The class analysis types who focus on material conditions and the inherent contributions of Capitalism and it's alienating and exploitive aspects that are done by design, those types of lefties... They are the majority but are too afraid to push back against the mainstream ideology adopted by the neoliberal lobbyists. And there is a reason these Capitalist loving liberals don't mind capitulating to cultural issues, it's because it doesn't hurt their bottom line and doesn't threaten the structure they benefit from.
Leftists, actual leftists, don't want a system with a different shade of flesh, different gender identity, etc. They don't want blak businesses or t-rans CEOs, they don't want private ownership of capital or CEOs. They don't want gaye landlords, they want to end landlordship and make property socially owned.
Marx, who is not the only influence for socialists, was explicitly a materialist that rejected ideology and subjective opinion, he believed nature and science had objective attributes that determined reality. He even said, "never take a person at their word, for what is a word but a lie from someone's mouth not yet proven false?" That's not the exact quote but it's effectively what he said. Marx would not have agreed that there were infinite genders. He would say there are either two or none at all and that it doesn't matter because objective material conditions don't care about your perception of them.
