I never understood this brain dead obsession that Marxists have with landlords.
Landlords own property like anybody else does or could, and they use their property to offer a commodity in demand a for a fee like any other service. You never hear anybody complaining about a car rental service or hotels or any other rental service, just this one. This is a strong sign that it's not based in any merit, it's just ideological brain rot.
You could be nuanced and argue that certain types of landlords are bad or that certain practices are harmful, and that's fine, but to say the concept of people renting out housing units is inherently bad just because is just stupid. Renting has it's advantages even if you don't understand or won't acknowledge them, there's are plenty of reasons why renting exists.
Exactly. I know several people who sold their house and went back to renting because they were sick of the hassle and expense of home ownership.
Marxists don't have a problem with renting per se, we have a problem with private landlords renting to extract a profit from less wealthy individuals. Social/public renting is cool and I have 0 problems with it, and I thing we should favour it.
The underlying premise here is simply nonsense. The idea renting is exploitative or that only poor people rent are nothing more than baseless assumptions. It's ideological drivel. Renting is not exploitation, it's a service like any other. You pay a fee to get access to a commodity. Not to mention that you also assume that the rental market is uniform, but it's not. There are SO many different levels and styles that appeal to just about everybody. There's a massive luxury rental market, do you think that's made by rich people to exploit poor people? Of course not, luxury rental units like normal rental units have people who seek them out. Renting has its own advantages.
Imagine dropping 8 comments on a thread to bootlick landlords lmfao. "But haven't you thought of poor landlords having to call a plumber every 6 months and paying them with the money of their tenants?"
You made a bunch of comments under my thread, and I called out the points that you made for being weak, false, or misleading... and now you're just throwing low level ad homs like "bootlicker", as if that means anything, because you know I'm right and you have nothing of value to add. It's as simple as that.
Cry me a river, landlord bootlicker
This is the level of intelligence I was expecting from a Marxist.
They're definitely a landleech whose feefees have been hurt.
