You are acting like you are right as a matter of course. I attempt to show you why you may be wrong, and you flippantly dismiss it outright.

You claim landlords don't provide housing, which is literally objectively false. Sorry, i tend to "flippantly dismiss" stupid claims.

Like here, for example. No, most people are not fine with giving a huge chunk of their income to someone whos only job in the equation is to own their home. Its the same relationship serfs had with feudal lords, who gave massive amounts of resources produced by their labor to their lords, out of some nebulous concept that the lords owned the land, for whatever reason.

Here are some choice quotes from Adam Smith, the Father of Capitalism, that Ill leave you with:

[Landlords] are the only one of the three orders whose revenue costs them neither labour nor care, but comes to them, as it were, of its own accord, and independent of any plan or project of their own. That indolence, which is the natural effect of the ease and security of their situation, renders them too often, not only ignorant, but incapable of that application of mind.

The landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for the natural produce of the earth.

Yeah, I'm still not reading any of your commie rants. But I'm sure government housing during the Soviet Union was just breathtakingly luxurious. Sorry if that's "flippantly dismissive" lol
