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.

    But that's just not true! Many landlords are the ones who built the house, or they bought the house from the one who built it, and they are required to do stuff like fix things in the house that break.

    Then the landlord in question should be a carpenter, electrician, or plumber, and make money directly from their labor rather than by holding a government-backed monopoly on a parcel of land and using that leverage to extort rent from the tenant.
