    People being like "tax landlords more" No, do what the cpc did. Stop enforcing property rights. All you have to do is take over the local sheriff or city court and refuse to enforce or write any eviction orders except for serious safety reasons.

    Some of those landlords will form gangs to enforce their property rights, those landlords are myopic jackasses who are going to end up killed by peasant.. er.. tenants if the local law enforcement doesn't step in to break up those gangs without killing anyone first.

      Yes. This is exactly the distinction made between personal and private property. The landlord owns it as private property, but it's the renter that uses it for daily life purposes.

      Think home as in a place you live, vs house as in a place where people can live. The landlord owns a bunch of houses, which are themselves other peoples' homes

    "NFTs" were an attempt to rent-seek on the internet, demanding kickbacks for the dubious ownership of an entry on a ledger that is usually associated with an ugly picture. cringe

    Being a landlord involves property management, tenant relations, and property maintenance. Generalizations about all landlords being "bad" oversimplify the situation. I'll bet some of us have had some pretty interesting landlord interactions in our time as renters.

      “As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed and demand a rent even for its natural produce.”

      -Literally Adam Smith. I dont even need to get out the Mao quotes.

      The problem isn't the scale the problem is the class dynamic.
