A better world wouldn’t require sacrificing freedoms.

Private property isn't a sacrifice. I don't own any.

There's a difference between personal property and private property. Private property is a mall, is a factory, is machinery at your workplace. Personal property is your toothbrush, your Playstation, your Television, your blender, your set of German knives, your computer, your books, etc.

Freedom of speech has never existed. The illusion of it has been allowed to be stronger or weaker in various places at various times, if your speech is no threat it's often allowed, it's when it's a threat that suddenly the freedom vanishes and hides behind excuses like national security or illegal ideologies, etc.

I question how you would get rid of freedom of thought without some sort of hellish brain implants being made mandatory so it's an odd thing to mention.

I'd be willing to sacrifice an awful lot of fascists, reactionaries, and an awful lot of enabling liberals. I'd be willing to sacrifice bourgeoisie. The expropriation of their private property is not a sacrifice but a necessity for things being held in common trust for the people.

Private property. I don't actually want to own things for the sake of owning things, I want a stable and reasonably comfortable life. In the current system, the only way to reliably achieve that is to own the things you need in your life. But if the system were such that you could live a decent life without owning a thing, I'll take that.

And that is with the interpretation of private property as literally any possession you can own. If we go by the socialist interpretation of private property as property used to generate capital, I already have no private property and neither do most people here.

I don't particularly want to be remembered for anything in my life. I don't need fame or standing. I dedicate my life to trying to improve people's lives as a teacher. I'd give my life if it meant everyone would live a significantly better life forever.

the ability to lie and "falsely claim".

imagine everybody is stricken with that boy's wish from "liar liar"

sure there would be a bunch of hurt feelings, but maybe the better world can compensate?

Billionaires, to the god Quetzalcoatl.

I don't think a better world would include sacrificing those freedoms actually. That's some tankie shit.

It won't be a better world if there's no private property or freedom of speech or freedom to breed or freedom of thought.

The instant these freedoms are forfeited, the world becomes worse.

Convenience.
Sadly it is something far fewer people are willing to give up than any of the above.

How much better we talking here?

My car and my motorcycle. The motorcycle in particular hurts a bit more because that leans more into the sport and pleasure (cars do it for me too, but I like the MC more). I live in the US so no decent public transport for me. I'd have to walk about a half mile to get to the closest stop to my house. Closest drop off to my work still means another walk of two miles. Side walks are a bit lacking too. Not to mention that the scheduled for the bus is a bit too limited for what I need.

I love driving for fun, in particular on the MC, but that is getting to. Having to? That sucks and is kind of bad for the environment.

Trump.

Edit: QuarterSwede beat me to it, so I'll go for Musk as a close second.

Vanity projects.

1. The concept of a family
2. Freedom to pick your own job (Government assigned positions)
3. Ability for me to be anything above lower-class
4. Nationalism and pride in a Culture
5. Accelerated Global Warming
6. My intelligence becoming below average
7. Every human lifespan is halved
8. Research of Space and Regression of Rocket Technology (forever sub-sound)

Trump.

emotionally, i want to say any and everything including my life, but i know that is merely talk until i have something deadly to face. however, i truly believe there isn't a single human rights issue not deserving of risking it all. but i am cowardly because i am fearful and insecure. i don't believe in myself although i try to. i have given up personal comforts for those i don't know and my friends, but am i ready to face something as severe as prison or being sent to a camp? i want to say "yes, of course," but.. idk. i know if our culture became more radical and revolutionary then i would feel ideological support from those around me and would be more willing to engage.

Would you sacrifice your sex hormones? No more estrogen or testosterone.

everyone with a net worth of over $1 million

though i would do that for air miles tbh

Nothing because there is nothing guaranteeing the better world would remain intact.

I'd give it 3-4 generations...

Low taxes when I become a billionaire

Would you sacrifice your flesh? No more body. Brain slurped out at birth, wired up to the internet.
