He is not wrong but definitely the wrong response to a price crash. Though nothing wrong with using housing as another source of income, most landlords aren't the boogieman tankies make them out to be

Honestly, I've always found the core ideas of communism to be pretty flawed. It just seems like it always ends up creating more problems than it solves. You see it historically, too, with so many attempts just falling apart. The incentives just aren't there for people to really strive and innovate when everything's supposed to be shared equally. Plus, who decides what's "equal" anyway? It feels like a recipe for disaster, leading to inefficiency and a lack of individual freedom. I just don't see how it can genuinely work in practice. Itβs a concept that sounds good on paper, maybe, but the reality is usually pretty bleak.

>>17111739I think it's a good narrative to feed the cattle with but it's a story or at best an utopian model of what leftists think society should look like. Communist leaders understood this and successfully replaced the upper class with their own dictatorship. It's funny to think about, but the banking and merchant class used a similar tactic to push for capitalism and replace european aristocracy with themselves, by funding the enlightenment and the french revolution and telling cattle their current upper class is the fault for all of their problems.
