That concept of ownership is essential to capitalism, so I dunno what you're on about.

Remarkable to observe people profess at length about 'capitalism' while wholly disregarding basic fundaments of how/why it works.

Your not talking about how it works. You're talking about how it socially presents itself.

I'm referring to how it works within certain societally constructed parameters, yes. I wouldn't call that a mere presentation.

Point is, "ownership" is shorthand for usage rights, and usage is concretely inseparable from technological capability.

It's concretely inseparable from ability to enforce ownership claims. Technology is a secondary consideration to that.

You're being too legalistic. The execution of ownership is usage. The rest is just consensual hallucination.

We've already been over the intersubjective nature of this. And it's demonstrable that 'consensual hallucinations' have consequences.

Attempting to wave that away by retreating to functionalism is a silly sleight of hand.

Well, you're waving away all questions of real functionality, which seems at least as much of a problem.

Functionality is obviously pertinent, but not a complete picture.
