A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

Even if there were small independent landlords all over the place, fuck them anyway.

Property should not be an investment opportunity.

Remember that shooting at Blackstone's headquarters? They tried to blame the motive on football somehow but the shooter targeted the CEO of Blackstone's real estate group, killing her along with a few others.

In my opinion, hoarding real estate is even more heinous than these tech billionaires who “merely” hoard money.

Shelter is a basic human need. Money is merely a means to an end.

Apparently someone with an AR-15 agreed with us as well 😁

But what you you think they invest their money in?

The gunman dying too was really too bad. Like Luigi Mangione being blamed as the shooter for the healthcare exec has kept the idea of murdering ceos more alive.

They, and other companies like them, are the ones buying up all of the extra real estate in the US, and then price fixing everyone's rent. This is how our housing is so expensive, manufactured low supply and price fixing through software.

Sidebar, being a landlord sounds like an awful way to earn a living.
