No, the system should be changed to not arbitrarily restrict people’s access to necessities.

Housing, and other necessities, should be community property. If you don’t live in the house, you forfeit ownership of that house so someone else who needs it can live in it. Fuck the exploitative system of private property ownership.

Renting is only necessitated because we live in a capitalist system. All your complaints only exist because of the capitalist system. It doesn’t need to exist.

Housing, and other necessities, should be community property…Fuck the exploitative system of private property ownership.

So you’d want it to be the case that anyone can enter and live in the house you’re living in, and you have no say in the matter because you don’t own it?

Do you really see no massive problems with such a system?

  Holy bad faith Batman. What a blatantly ignorant misrepresentation of what I said.
  
  You have no concept of what a community property system is. For the love of God, go read fucking theory and educate yourself on alternative political and economic systems.
  
  If you live in the house, it becomes your personal property. Meaning you own it while you live and reside there. No one can just come into your personal space. Yet, when you no longer wish to live there and are moving away, the house transfers ownership back to the community until someone needs it.

    Pointing out that what you’re saying doesn’t make sense isn’t bad faith.
    
    For the love of God, go read fucking theory
    
    How about ‘for the love of God, define your fucking terms’, if you’re using them in a way inconsistent with colloquial understanding?
    
    No one in everyday life considers “personal property” and “private property” to not be the exact same thing. Stop playing semantic games and communicate normally, if you expect to ever sway anyone. It also helps not to insult people not privy to said semantic games.

    So:
    
    How, exactly, is it being determined who gets to live there first/next?
    
    If none of the residents are actually purchasing the house, who’s footing the bill for them all? I’m seeing estimates that the total residential housing in the US carries a value in the area of $45 trillion, with a T. You think you’re getting anywhere near that with tax revenue? And that’s without even considering new construction and repairs to existing construction.

    No, I will not define basic fucking terms for you. If you are too ignorant to understand the difference between personal and private property when it comes to systemic analysis of our systems of ownership, the. You’re too fucking ignorant to have an argument with. Go fucking read a book first.
    
    Also, fuck you, I’m autistic and I’ll communicate how I fucking please, shitheel.
