"hooks said that she suffered from patriarchy as a landlord b/c the men she employed to work her properties didn't show her the proper respect sometimes"

    There's nothing in the video about her being a landlord, but even if she was why is that worse than having investments? You're correcting unearned rent from the working class either way.

    (Edit: Unless you define owning investment property alone as being a landlord, independent of charging tenants rent - I guess I usually think of landlordism as the latter)

      owning investment property presupposes collecting rent. it wouldnt be an investment if you didnt collect rent

      investments in the stock market are more abstracted, sure its still extracting surplus labor value, but landlordism is much more direct.
