Comment on Rent is theft
Riverside@reddthat.com 2 days agoa 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.
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.

He didn’t starve tens of millions, millions of people starved yearly in China before Mao since it was a preindustrial country. Mao found a China with below 30 years of life expectancy, and left a China with 55+ years of life expectancy, Chinese communism literally saved tens of millions of lives in that era.
