I feel like this is one of the finer points to convince people of, and doesn't have as many resources to explain it to someone who's been indoctrinated in Capitalism their whole life.

    So what if they bought it themselves? Now there's a spreadsheet somewhere that says "X owns Y," real fucking cool, that's not work and definitely not worthy of payment every month. Maintenance work, sure, but that's only a fraction of the rent.

    What's the rest of that rent for? If you don't pay it, that's not some extra work going unpaid somewhere. All that happens is the landlord is allowed to call the government to make you homeless.
