I’m not so sure about “propaganda” and “a lot to answer for.”
Two of the happiest years of my life were spent living in a tent. (This was by choice, which is key to the joy of such a decision. Choosing to live reduce one’s lifestyle to a defined minimum is a far cry from enforced poverty. )
I did have running water (showers, toilets) and a place to cook and store food, so I wasn’t exactly roughing it. I just didn’t have a lot of “stuff.” I didn’t miss the stuff, and I loved how its absence made me feel light and free.
