That you call them small land leeches really speaks for itself
That they are doing unproductive unwork? And shouldn't continue doing that? Sure.
Renting out a house is unethical, sure. But it doesn't warrant death. Their social and economic situation is NOTHING like the feudal and near feudal land lords of pre revolutionary China and Russia.
Also, here's your reminder that Mao's parents were landlords.
Who the fuck are you to tell me what I can and cannot do with my property that I built and/or bought with my own hands and work? Here's a reminder you are a moron. Hitler was an artist you brain dead loon. That you feel there's some mora failingl element to me making my home available to someone not completely for free just shows how far out in space you are. Get bent fucknugget.
To be clear you don't deserve to exploit others, and BUY is hugely different to BUILT.
But unless you join a rightist paramilitary death squad in defense of "your" property "rights", I'm not about to be cool with someone killing you.
How am i exploiting others again? By giving them a place to live because they can't afford to buy a place of their own? Someone is going to own the property- no one is going to build for free. At least with me they get a stable rent and a price a couple hundred below market. How the fuck do you make that balance out to "evil"
It's exploitation, because housing is a right that shouldn't be monetized.
But you do have cause to see this as fine. Exactly why hurting you is extremist, authoritarian nonsense in my book.
And don't worry too much. The whole idea of revolution is that no one should be unhoused. You'll have a place to go.
Just don't join a death squad.
great. so how are you planning on making that happen? by taking my property and giving it to someone? i mean i literally built my first house. so i can't keep it just because i'm not living in it? it should remain empty? what exactly is your plan man? Maybe YOU should not join a death squad?
If you don't live there, then -
Yes, housing should be held in common. Don't worry though. The whole idea of no one should be homeless or starve applies to you, too.
And if you live there, built it, should be yours. But rent is parasitic and has to go as a concept.
They are paraphrasing Adam Smith's core work there buddy.
And?
