Oh ninja editing will get you nowhere sweetie.
We could talk.about those ideas and they would be solutions. I've mentioned them myself numerous times.
I'll just answer your rhetorical question with another:
Are you a moralistic antagonistic piece of shit?
Yeah- well not sorry to see you go.
Hope you grow up someday yourself kiddo.
Well that civility was short lived...
No, you.
You are lazy for not looking at how humans have worked since the dawn of time
You are lazy for thinking you've given some actionable plan when you've literally done nothing more than "can't we all just get along." Saying just give houses to the needy is stupid. Noone is ever going to do that. Petition governments to provide increased housing- sure. Create an initiative to build homes for free- great I'm all for you doing that. Do x thing that helps: sure. You do that. Telling people you need to just give up your stuff and return to monke- not a solution.
You are... lazy.
Worse- you think you are smart because you read a book on Marx and try to use ridiculously unnecessary words.
Why use an extraneous amount of verbiage and syllables when a diminutive amount suffices?
Pseudo intellectual is the worst kind of intellect .
insert tangentially related counter strawman
Akshually, I'd have to charge for maintenance, property taxes, pest control, property manager fees etc. But yeah I COULD do that
Yeah I'm renting the place out- yeah because I own it and don't live there anymore I came up with a better idea. Sure I could just sell it I suppose- but I'm just gonna go reinvest that money elsewhere and you'll have an equal problem with that.
That's not my goal. Never said it was. I'm building wealth for myself and family. I don't plan to work forever and this is my way to retirement.
Not a saint- never claimed it. I have some news for you- you aren't either. Else you'd be at a food kitchen feeding the hungry. Or working the local shelter. Or even better providing your place as a shelter. But man oh man am I willing to bet you aren't housing anyone for free either.
Embrace what you are rather than trying and failing to claim some moral high ground and simultaneously proclaiming your ideology isn't about morals.
I believed in a perfect world everyone should have everything they need. I also believe we do not live in a perfect world.
Do I believe the current system is broken? Yes. Do I believe reform would work? Yes. Do I believe I've seen any kind of plan or actionable theory of how to change it? No.
Do I believe empty houses while people are homeless is wrong? Morally, yes. Realistically- not my fault and not my problem. Can't fix that but I can do what I am doing.
Ideally yes governments and economies would serve humanity- again we don't live in an ideal world and the human condition will always prevent that.
We probably won't get anywhere because:
I also believe that if these things were to be done it would involve the government- not me- providing these things. In this ideal situation I would also be allowed to buy property(or whatever thing) and rent it to those who can't afford it themselves. This means more taxes and excluding lobbying, gerrymandering, corruption in general. I believe every system fails to corruption because that's just the human condition.
Yes that's sort of what happened when ussr collapsed- not entirely. A lot of the apartments went to the current residents.. like alot alot. There's a reason I know this. However what you mentioned also happened. And it sucks. It's not fair. But there's no way to be fair about it. Now the legitimate (uncontested) government has control of things and that's just where we go from now. Going back through history is pointless.
I also disagree that shouting at people is effective. Especially when you appear to be shouting x when you really mean y.
I'm much more willing to listen to someone who lays out a well constructed argument rather than some rhetoric that on its own makes no sense.
Oh man you got me. Yeah I do charge more than my mortgage... I mean any amount is greater than 0.. so oof yeah... you totally got me.
I totally mark up rent too- definitely. Have done it 0 times. Man. Got me there too.
I'm horrible for making my rent a couple hundred below market value too. Oowee.
I did happen to read rich dad poor dad. It's does have some solid advice on pretty basic principles of building wealth and avoiding debt. Oh man so bad of me.
Tell me more about myself mystic of the commune.
Uh.. yeah generally labor was done by slaves.. I think you may not understand how thing work.
You are right about delusion- just the whom and what of it are misplaced.
We had houses before we had money, dumbass.
Oh that half assery.
Oh man if only. Lol.
Uh.. I think you might want to reevaluate that particular analogy. Maybe look at HOW Rome was built... also WHEN money was a thing.
I mean unless you are advocating literal slavery as a means to build things.
I invite you to look at literally every other argument in these threads and come back to me. You alone sure- you've been decent. You I don't necessarily have an issue with.
