In other words: you own yourself because you reject socialism dictating your
ownership by dictating the associations that you have with other
individuals.

But you don't rely on socialism, because you are a hypocrite. You rely on
the the rest of us free individuals,  and on our free society, on our
government recognition of free markets, and on our free enterprises.  What
you call "ownership" is anything but, you take for granted the humongous
infrastructure of the freedom that feeds, clothes and protects you.

Stop using the private cars that originally used the privately built roads,
stop using the gas stations, the door locks and all the forms of private
policing and security on which free people voluntarily spend more than they
do on government police, the housing, the job markets, the financial
markets, the government's recognition of economic freedom. Stop using the
internet.  Stop being a hypocrite socialist.
