It’s just another rage comic character

context clues

This is what would have happened in Gaza if there were no Hamas. They initially tried to settle Gaza just like the West Bank, but were driven out by ‘terrorists’

Fascist pogroms. They’re trying to drive the Palestinians away so they can take the land.

Can we just go back to saying communists please?

Hello, I’d like to speak for people I disagree with

As a leftist whose platform doesn’t seem to include a word about abolishing capitalism, any time I am challenged by someone to the left of Bernie Sanders, I turn into a right wing crank telling people ‘if you don’t like it get out’

And today I’d like to tell you about horseshoe theory

You linked me to a stub of an article that exists on wikipedia for completion’s sake that describes the weird larping exercise that is your specific ideology fursona.

As far as you play acting with sources, data, blah blah, I apparently have to again remind you that the topic of this thread is the relationship between landlords and tenants, not your weird obsession with ocelots.

And yes, of course I’m skipping over a lot of nuance

You’re glossing over your ignorance by pretending there’s nuance you’re sparing me. Seen that trick plenty.

Your ideology is a stub on wikipedia. Calling it a fursona is hilarious. Especially when you’re completely ignorant of everything else besides what you self identify as.

Like you want to condescend to me while misusing the term ‘private property.’ It’s adorable.

And considering Georgism diverges from capitalism at the highest level of categorization

You allow for capital accumulation and private ownership of the means of production. You don’t diverge from capitalism at any point. You’re an ideological capitalist.

Learn what words mean. Until then it’s entirely appropriate to make fun of your politics as being a fursona. You took it on as a personality quirk and all of this discussion betrays the fact. You’re politically illiterate to the point that you choosing such a specific subset is a joke on itself.

Yeah. I know what a georgist is. It’s a libertarian who had his land taken by agribusiness.

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.

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.

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.

With who’s politicians?

You already work to give it to someone else.

And police exist to keep them suppressed, disorganized and desperate

First try drinking a glass of water though
