The (indirect) control they hold still gives them all the power they need without the cost entailed by ownership. You can hack capitalism just like you can hack software.

Any tips on this topic?

The geoliberal approach could be considered a hack perhaps?

I.e go full circle and have all property be rented from the commons. Distribute the extracted rent as a public dividend.

I see. I was hoping for suggestions on more local/individual approaches.
That's not very much of a hack of capitalism, and much more simply a different configuration. A "hack" for capitalism would be "circumventing" the value-form or some such.
