    OP in that thread has some real bangers in their comment history like "not going into debt is Marxist activism"

    On the subject of Marxism, if people stopped getting into debt a lot less money would be flowing to the top. Banks would have fewer profits and their power would shrink. Therefore abstaining from debt could even be considered a kind of activism. The best kind of activism really, because it actually makes you wealthier.

    Also they just straight up defend being a landlord insisting it's a ton of work lmao.

      This is why we can't have nice things. Like this is just an insult to the entirety of Marx's work.

      The irony is that they’re right but for the wrong reasons. Capitalism would collapse if debt as an economic tool ceased to exist. But paying off your credit card in full every month isn’t going to do that.
