My parents are landlords of a medium apartment with a family of 4 living inside it. Is it hypocritical for me to be a Marxist-Leninist when my parents are landlords? especially considering what past revolutionaries have done to landlords (Mao). To clarify things, i do not agree with the concept of landlord-ism and how my parents (and me too from a broader view) are benefiting from someone else’s income while doing nothing except owning basic human needs
My parents rent out an extended mobiles home on our property. My grandmother lived there and we took care of here for year and when she passed the property came back to us. If we just kept it as a second building our taxes would go up significantly. If we rented it out it wouldn’t cost us any additional taxes. I realized this is how they prevent you from forming communes by attacking you with additional taxes for sharing property instead of renting it out like a fucking landlord. They do it just to not have to deal with extra taxes. Charge super low rent for it.
One way of solving housing crisis in capitalist world is to monetize the f**k out of houses without caring for the perils of tenants to afford it. They can’t providing free/affordable housing without appropriately taxing the rich so they use this scheme that is appealing to liberals and makes rich richer leaving no one of significant importance to care if housing crisis still remains.
