Landlords are drains on the economy. Shifting capital into non-productive parts of the sector. Relying on a collective of mom-and-pop landlords to ‘build’ dwellings for a nation’s population is akin to harvesting a coal mine with picks and shovels. It’s moronic policy that doesn’t scale. Where are the large institutions building? Why isn’t the government providing a right to shelter? Fuck off with ‘starter’ homes. There are none. I’d be happy with a shoebox to sleep in at night.

Once again, I’m not a tankie, but Mao was definitely onto something with the landlords.

This is the problem with tankies. By supporting the worst things about communist governments, they make people hesitant to support the actually really beneficial aspects of communism.
