    Changing the language will not change the contradiction and will do absolutely nothing to the issue or to socialist organising whatsoever. It is the very peak of liberal idealist philosophy over materialist philosophy, the belief that if you change the ideas you will get material change is absurd.

    People will just call the "housing providers" exploiters and bastards instead of calling the landlords exploiters and bastards. Also they'll find a new word for "housing provider" instead, like landnonce or fuckstick.
