  Anarchists are anti-rent too. See this user’s comment. Anti-rent and anti-property has been a staple of anarchist philosophy since Proudhon.

  Really, any socialist worth their salt should be anti-rent.

  I think number of home units should be strictly limited

  We need way more home units, all of them free.

    Anarchists by bare definition are not anti-anything except permanent rules and laws. Banning rentals would make you a tyrant and Anarchists would hang you for that.

    We should have free home options, and also more psychiatric facilities like before Reagan gutted them, to reduce homelessness down to only those who chose to be it.

    But we should also have the option to commission, build, and rent nice homes.

        Anarchists all agree that anyone else who claims to be an anarchist isn’t an anarchist.

  a world without rent entirely is a really stupid idea that only ever seems uttered and promoted by Tankies

  Meanwhile, in the USSR, nobody owned housing privately, most housing was accessed through the work union, and was rented at about 3% of monthly costs. You clearly, CLEARLY haven’t ever engaged with a Tankie (such as myself) on the topic of housing.

    I never claimed Tankies actually followed the beliefs thwy spew. Even that fat fuck Mao Zedong kept the rental system in place and Tankies still to this day praise him for executing landlords.

      Why the fatphobia? No need to insult Mao based on his body.

      Tankies still to this day praise him for executing landlords

      Rightfully so, too. Life expectancy in China doubled under Mao. If India had had its own socialist revolution, it wouldn’t be very different from China in terms of life outcomes, unfortunately for them they didn’t have one.
