Homelessness exists in all major economies
And that's bad
Why don't they know 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.
Big news as the USA enters into the fray on China's war on poverty on behalf of poverty.
If homelessness were a human right then every cop and reactionary fuckstick who has ever molested the possessions or shelter of a homeless person would be in jail. The truth is, you don't even have the right to be homeless. You have the right to freeze or go to prison.
Destroying a tent should carry the same punishment as burning down a mcmansion.
The only right that's left in the USA is the right to consume and even the poor are priced out from that. It's a playground for PMC blue checks and boaters, off the backs of wage slaves who keep the lights on.
It is difficult for me to imagine what "personal liberty" is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment.
Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible.

The law, in its majesty, forbids both rich and poor alike from sleeping under bridges.
China doesn't have people living in tents in the streets? They must be throwing them into a giant meat grinder.
Your average american can't fathom a social safety net for the poor so obviously China is turning these homeless people into paste.

Unironically something a redditor would write and believe it 100%
Then complain about how China is beating us at homelessness extermination.

(For the sake of clarity, this is from a video game. One made by Americans, no less.)
Porky's getting oppressed because no one is milking the masses for money over housing.
People who say shit like this should be forced to experience homelessness since it's apparently a human right now.
its true. as we all know, homelessness is a choice. if there are no homeless people there, clearly their god given right to be homeless is being infringed upon.
The system produces morbid symptoms like this in a desperate attempt to defend itself.
Can't wait for the next round of Fraiser Institute Freedom Index scores.
