I leave the possibility of revolution to the other thread.

You cannot force cheaper rent. The landlords don't have 500% profit margins. All you do is fix the housing situation with nobody left to organize renovations or new constructions because landlords will seek other opportunities.

The resources for housing are too expensive. You have to change that.

Give me a hint. Are there reforms without staging a revolution? How can you dream of revolutions without believing in voters?

You are appealing to authority. They are right in the sense that the owning class will try to maintain their position. Now, what do you want to do? Stage a revolution without weapons from the means of production?

Hegel for sure is proud to know that those two reached the end of philosophy.

I don't question that communism and Socialism can create better housing. My point is that as long as you are in capitalism, you have to play by capitalist rules. This means you should increase competition. It's not the fault of landlords that there is not enough opportunity to build affordable housing.

Blaming landlords is counter-productive because renters don't feel the need to build the power to influence the next election.

Yes. As long as you don't believe in Santa Claus, who is there to make a change?

We’re always talking about crossfit and veganism.

Reserve army of labor. Don't try to solve the problem by ridiculing it. Offer a better solution.

That disqualifies musicals from being lawful good unless further qualified.

People learn and sleep with white noise. It's chaotic neutral.

But it's not chaotic but structured by editors. It's lawful evil.

The 4:1 upvote relation between music and silence, that's insightful.

It is the voters fault.

Voters are responsible for politics.

Even if they are manipulated, it's still their fault. Like drunk driving.
