    Homelessness exists in all major economies

    And that's bad

    Why don't they know that's bad?

      Because under capitalism it's actually good. We need the homeless to make an example out of to scare the working class into towing the line. If homelessness was abolished, that'd be another tool of control the bourgeois would lose.

      Because they are not talking about homelessness itself being the human right, I bet. To them, it's that taxes to pay to help homeless people is a violation of the rights of the person being taxed.

        I think this person was actually making a freedom of movement argument. I remember reading the actual comment and it was something about how if you're homeless in China, people will call the cops who will generally send you back to your home town where you can get help from your family and if not that then social services. They were essentially arguing that something was inherently wrong if you couldn't find someone voluntarily choosing to be homeless.
