    I still have to make mortgage payments

    Imagine a world in which petite bourgeoise landlords throw in with their tenants and tell the mortgage company to piss off.

    Genuinely curious how that would play out. "Listen, this is my mortgage. I'd like to just stop paying it, but then the Sheriff's going to come and try to repo the property. How do you all feel about arming up and telling that Sheriff to get fucked?"

      If landlords had solidarity with tenants they would not be landlords. Like in this scenario the landlords are no longer getting passive income with no labor right? What's in it for them?

        I mean, if you're collecting rent...

        We've just got layers of landlordism now. Everyone can be someone else's landlord. So we're all... uh... in it together? Except when it's time to eat shit, at which point there's a hierarchy again.

        Sure they are. They're still landlords and they still want to get paid. They just don't want to pay their mortgage notes.
