Abolish Capitalism When?
The core problem is capitalism, landlording is merely a symptom of capitalism.

The core problem is consumerism. The idea that if you have more, then you should get more and spend more while complaining you don’t have enough.

capitalism is the idea that value comes from ownership, rather than labor. landlording is just the purest expression of capitalism.

uh huh. I think the value of stuff should go to the people who made it, who can, individually or as (a) group(s) maintain their own fucking tools. or towards a broader project of building a society. I don’t think concentrating wealth or some edgelord bullshit about greed being good are sustainable healthy or sane ways to structure distribution of resources in a society.
