There’s someone in this thread arguing exactly for squatters right for another’s primary residence, barring their ability to organize some kind self defense. Didn’t sound great

As always, there are extremists on both sides, that's no lie.
Generally, most people aren't so extreme as to say private ownership shouldn't exist at all. At least from most of the people I interact with here in Barcelona.
Besides what people think is right/wrong, the police does help you (quickly) to throw out people that try to invade your residence that you actively live in.

Calling people you disagree with extremists is just an insult and it's not nice. It's rude. There is nothing extremists about fighting for a world where no one is oppressed and everyone can develop to the heights of one's potential.

Who said I disagree with it? I'm just self aware enough to know where on the spectrum my own ideals, morals and opinions are.

Are fine with oppression and exploitation of other humans? Is that okay according to your morals and ideals?

No, you just claimed one comment ago that "no one is arguing" that. Don't make those kinds of assertions in a situation when you know full well someone in this very thread is likely to do it.
Realistically, if this would happen in real life (which isn't very common, compared to proper "occupations", which this is not), the police would kick them out quickly, as it's the owner's primary resident.
No one is arguing for squatters right for other's primary residence. The division comes when you start talking about properties that are bought/owned for the sole purpose of speculation.
