Yeah. I know what a georgist is. It's a libertarian who had his land taken by agribusiness. You said yourself you support private capital. You put "free trade" on your dumb little pin. You are a subset of libertarian just like I said from the beginning. I'm sorry you don't like the label. Maybe you should learn about ideologies outside your fursona so you see how they actually work.

I should have known what a sophomoric puke you were just by "Very bold" being your opening line.

Broadly speaking, communists believe in social ownership of all three, socialists in social ownership of land and capital, and capitalists in private ownership of all three.

Absolute mind palace nonsense. No relation to the outside world or its writings. And I'm losing it over "ownership of labor" being the difference between 'communism' and 'socialism'

Complete clown shit. You know those words in that order are talking about slavery right? The ownership of labor in private hands?

How would you feel if I attempted to reduce down the wild complexity of leftist ideologies – everyone from syndicalists to market socialists to distributists to demsocs to Marxists – into “lmao a bunch of Pol Pot supporters”? Pretty silly and reductive, isn’t it?

I would feel the exact same way I feel now

Bemused contempt

I put you into a larger ideological box than the one you put yourself in. You complained that you weren't a plant, you were a tree.

And yes I agree libertarians are dumb as fuck and I offer you the additional observation that there is no 'true' libertarian and they talk shit about each other all the time.

My source is a group of people I've already described as stupid

lol

lmao

I'm sorry, you're a libertarian. I'm even less impressed.

It’s difficult, yes, but our society has fought and won battles against vested interests before.

Yeah back when we had unions that would straight up murder scabs. Your thing, neoliberalism, works in the opposite direction. The results speak for themselves.

The idea is to turn landlording – a position of power and privilege with access to economic rents – into mere property management – a regular job where you earn income based on the labor you do in maintaining properties.

Then seize the land. If that's your end goal then do it.

Do you think you can trick the landlords into watching you do it slowly enough they don't notice? You think you can trick capitalists into getting real jobs? Preposterous. You have no sense of class antagonism.

Lol calling everything fascist propaganda

Anyway as I was saying there's inherently evil people out there and we need a police response to keep them suppressed for the safety of the good people of whom I and maybe(?) you are one.

Who gives a fuck how cleverly the administration of 'free market solutions' through tax policy is targeted towards 'incentivizing' landlords. This is a post about the parasitic relationship between landlord and tenant. I made a (glib) point about how it's difficult to legislate against landlords because they get to use your money to lobby against you. What does your point have to do with any of that?

Yeah so I'm even less impressed now

80's crime world movies are fascist propaganda by the way. This person is demonstrating how popular culture is also political.

There is a such thing as a crazy madman killer in our society. They're called school shooters, and they live in the suburbs. The cartoon that exists in this person's head about what homelessness is and who it's a danger to didn't come out of thin air.

The top line of what you just linked me is saying they're going to drop property taxes on occupied buildings by 17% and raise taxes on unoccupied land. This isn't about changing the math for renters this is about shrinking the city's sprawl to save money on infrastructure.

And that's not to say taxing landlords is going to do anything. My point is about the political economy of going after people whom you give half your money for years and years first (for centuries). Our political system is designed to protect these people. From the constitution on down.

That's not the work of a landlord. That's the work of a plumber.

You are nothing but a parasite. A ticket scalper for being alive.

With who's politicians?

Half of your opinion is your own personal aggrievement for being morally reprimanded.
