I have never said owning your home makes you a landlord nor do I believe that. This post is simply saying small-scale capital owners are no less reactionary than large-scale capital owners.
One would have to read the above comment in very bad faith to conclude that it means owning your home makes you a landlord.
Homeowners are a reactionary class; they’re small-scale land speculators. Honestly, the millions of homeowners colluding to keep prices high through NIMBYism, eroding of tenant protections, and overspending on police to brutalize the homeless are more responsible for the housing crisis than the large institutional investors.
Anti-Homeowner Aktion.
EDIT: It is insane how many seemingly progressive turn into Republicans the second their precious home wealth is questioned. Like, every one of these “pro-homeowner” talking points is straight out of a suburban county GOP’s policy platform.
Congratulations, you found a comment where I talked about how homeowners will protect the values of their properties, a well-accepted fact to any leftist who has done work in housing justice.
The following two statements can be true at the same time:
People who own land have nothing in common with people who rent land.
Homeowners are not landlords.
Debate bro culture on this website really sucks; this is Reddit shit. Why are you taking time out of your day to bad-faith interpret my first comment, then dig through weeks my posting history to find another comment that doesn't even back up what you're accusing me of saying?
What are you even trying to argue? That class is something other than your relationship to the means of production? Or are you just fishing for arguments for its own sake? I really don't feel like arguing with you.
You were complaining about the exact same thing as last time and then tried to say you weren't.
People who own land have nothing in common with people who rent land.
lol no. Workers who own a house are still workers.
That class is something other than your relationship to the means of production?
Just to confirm, you're saying that not renting from a landlord makes you a capitalist? Basing your understanding of class on whether someone else has more or less assets instead of the way they got those assets is flawed.

:no: :bugs-no:
I sincerely do not know how many times I have to answer this question. No, not renting from a landlord does not make you a capitalist. Just like owning one unit of stock doesn't make you a capitalist.
Please stop picking apart every little bit of the above comment and interpreting it in bad faith to try to score a sick dunk. It is a bad use of both your time and mine.

I saved that thread because of how bad the take was. The comments dunking on it were gold though.
