Or if not “owning one’s own home,” maybe more simply “dwelling in a home without paying a toll to someone who merely owns a tollbooth guarded by a cop with a gun.”

Housing is structured in capitalist societies as, generally, a choice between *renting* and *owning,* and owning comes with its own financial and cognitive burdens. It makes sense for a lot of people to reject home ownership in the sense of capitalist hegemony in a way that wouldn’t make sense absent that structure.
