What don't get is why people think something like star wars can't have different tones. It's a big universe with a big story. Just because the originals were these scifi epics doesn't mean a different story set in the universe can't be grounded and dark. Like how 40k can be really goofy and stupid but also really serious and gritty. It depends on the specific story being told within the setting. Not the setting as a whole

What instances are doing that?

Needs more content. Personally I'd like video hosting (i know thats a big ask). And some way to make instances less confusing for newcomers.

Landlords are the reason housing is so expensive. By buying up realestate and renting it out, landlords are directly contributing to the scarcity. Personally housing should be a human right. If you don't want to go that far here's a different solution. Literally just make apartment's buyable rather than rentable. Don't allow landlords to buy up all this realestate thus raising prices by creating a fake scarcity of housing. If landlords didn't own all of it, and people could buy apartment's rather than rent them, the prices would lower and become more accessible for people

I'll say it once and I'll say it again. Even the father of capitalism thought landlords were parasitic leeches on the economy. Even the father of capitalism hated landlords

Ignorance is bliss

The Rojava Revolution in Syria, and the Zapatistas in Mexico seem to be promising. Not saying you should sign up for them or anything lol. But they are certainly worth looking at and learning from. Communism is experimental, and it's important to look at attempts at it and learn from their mistakes and successes.

I have issue with Marx's theories, particularly the idea we have to transition to communism. No government will freely give up its power, it's too likely to become corrupted. Which is why I focus on anarchist theory. Granted Pannekoek and Luxemburg are Marxists, I find their takes on Marxism to be much better

Pyotor Kropotkin, Rudolf Rocker, Anton Pannekoek, Rosa Luxemburg, Errico Malatesta, and Abdullah Ocalan are the ones I've read.
