According to OP, landlords are leeches because they don’t let random people live on their properties for free
I can see why most of y’all on KTT are broke
The issue is them having those properties in the first place
I'll discuss anything with anyone who isnt nicelikechrist or someone who's going to immediately jump to calling me a stupid communist who doesn't know how things work
What do you want to happen FIRST? The abolishment of landlords or the abolishment of capitalism?

Well the abolishment of capitalism implies the abolishment of landlords
Well the abolishment of capitalism implies the abolishment of landlords
Does the abolishment of landlords implies the abolishment of capitalism?

No not necessarily. But I dont think it will happen under capitalism
What's the issue?
I think you know what the issue is b.
If you’re renting a property you don’t own it.

Don’t you think is a more productive use of your time and energy to advocate against capitalism as a whole first, instead of going against consequences of capitalism which you don’t even believe they can be solved?
no government?
we most certainly need a government lol, i trust the people to run s*** just as much as I trust the government (so hardly at all), but at least the government is outnumbered by the people, so there is some room to drive change / reform if a big enough movement is formed
on top of the fact we need protection from foreign actors since, like it or not, we are one of the strongest nations in the world and people want us to crumble
who would handle the national security? professors?
community enforcers?
the people?
I’d much rather there be a military you chose to sign up for (outside of the draft) than the people being responsible to take on a potential foreign threat
people on ktt2 think international relations is smooth sailing and probably think the UN can handle things LMAO
“ If you live in a home, you own it. ”
What is meant by this is you have more rights in publicly owned property. It is not run for profit so you can live in it your whole life and treat it as your home. You can't live in a property rented from the private sector your whole life. It is never truly your home.

Renting shouldn't be a thing

I advocate against capitalism all the time. It's not a waste of my time to talk about the specific ills of it

All I do is ask you questions that make you have to think about reality but that’s too much for you
You need to leave the utopian fairy land you created in your head
as someone who just moved into a dope 3 bedroom with a great balcony in my city this week, god bless renting

Bleh post

So if I own properties then I shouldn’t be allowed to let others use said properties in exchange for money?
Not following that line of thinking

Right, you shouldn't own properties.

I think it might be tbh to talk about it on here because it never goes anywhere
You might be better working in publishing or talking some forum about political economies with people specialized in that field
The average person on here can't tell you how an economy runs, what free markets actually do, why the USSR specifically failed, diff. between communism vs socialism, and like so many other things
I'm pretty uneducated on socialism because I'm still pretty uneducated about capitalism. I'm not gonna follow/learn about the critical theory that socialism is without fully understanding the economics and history of the system it's criticizing.
