Marxists can predict the future to some extent. So what marxist would think investing in property in LA of all places is a good idea. That place is not going to be a good place to live in the future climate change is going to fuck it hard. Never mind that capitalism has already fucked it hard it is already a miserable palce to live if you are poor. It is notorius for the worst of urban planing and sprawl. Like it's hell to anyone with sense.

So like why take out mortgage and invest 3 million into that. I get he is in "showbiz" and needs to be near Hollywood but all that really means is he needs to be close to some of the worst propgandist in the world and schmooze in some of the most bebauched and depraved parties imaginable and what ever else sychophantic psychopathic arse kissing passes for networking over there. All he has done is bound his material intrestest with that of the bourgeosie. Because now he will need to protect his investment and property to keep his family and new wealth.

I don't think people are wrong to point out this it's not envy or jelousy it's seeing pattern repeat and not having the words to describe it becuase they haven't read theory. Dude's material conditions are changing and that changes your outlook and not trusting an ego driven youtuber to stay strong and keep to their morals is perfectly sensible.

IDK maybe some theory nerds can put it into better words or maybe I'm wrong I've only been following this drama on here.

    I'm not arguing either way in the struggle session but damn how big does a house have to be to be a mansion? 5 bedrooms sounds insanely big, maybe that's an American thing but I've never known anyone with a house that size.

          Assuming all bedrooms are occupied, efficiency goes up with higher amounts of bedrooms, no? 5 one bedroom houses need 5 kitchens and 5 living rooms, 1 five bedroom house only needs 1 of those.

          I know a lot of families with intergenerational households that have 3+ bedroom houses though. Hell, I live in a 5 bedroom house, but I also live with 4 other adults and 2 kids. The line between a big house and small mansion is "are those rooms being used?"

          That's not even close to reality. For one, there is plenty of space for everyone to live; presuming otherwise is Malthusian nonsense.

          I agree! My wife divorced me after I moved our 9 person family into a 1 bedroom house, but I agree! We had a futon, it would have been fine!
