You were my brother, Anakin! I loved you, you piece of shit!

What does it mean to flip toilet paper when replacing it? Like, putting it in the right way and wrong the next time? How does that make him right “either way”? At best, that makes him right 50% of the time. Sorry, but this just makes no fucking sense. Or am I missing something?

Revive Lenin and have some stroke medication on hand?

I don’t really think of songs as girl songs or boy songs. That being said, I guess La vie en rose by Edith Piaf, I guess? Nothing secret about it, though.

Also, no secret in me liking I want it that way. Never told anyone, but that’s because nobody ever asked me.

This is why I love the internet.

What the fuck are you smoking?

Why not both? Get reforms done now to get some immediate alleviation and garner more popular support, and prepare for a revolution asap.

I got it, but mostly thanks to watching HIMYM.

You could still have different prices, albeit lower ones. Renting then becomes part of a resources allocation game. If you want a bigger/more luxurious home, you pay more and have less for other things. If a fancy house isn’t so important to you, you can get a cheaper one and have more money left for vacations, fine dining, cinema, etc.

As for the efficiency, that government department could take lessons from big property owners and organize like them, only with state subsidies and without profit goals. That way, the middle class, by virtue of having more money, could still afford better housing. Also, I don’t want the middle class to live like the working class, I want the working class to live like the middle class. Also also, there’s no “middle class”, only parts of the working class that got lucky. But they’re fundamentally still beholden to their employers’ whims.

Incremental change withing the current system is good and important, but we nonetheless have to discuss the big break that has to occur at some point, and what comes after. Incremental change can only take us so far.

I’m not completely against the concept of renting. But imo the property should be owned either by the inhabitant of it, or the state. And then the state employs a custodian in charge of repairs and administration (you know, the only useful aspects of a landlord), while renting it out for a low price. And in order to keep prices a s low as possible, maintenance is supplemented by a tax.

The problem with private landlords of one or two extra properties, while they’re often not morally bankrupt, is that they tend to be wholly inept at the custodian part. Plus, if properties are all owned in small numbers rather than organized on the large scale, that’s just very inefficient.

Okay, but why do we need the landlord then? We’d just need a custodian.

That’s an odd spelling of “capitalist”.

You can’t be a good anything and be a landlord. At least if we use the moral meaning of “good”.

I’m an optimist. I hope that in fourty years, the revolution will already have been won and grandma doesn’t need to vandalize banks any longer.

Nah, we just need more people with sticks.

Oh. OH! Looks like I’m a bit out of practicing in memecrafting. xD

…and it allows both of them to get evicted if they don’t have money, need money if they don’t have money, and starve if they don’t have money.

“Majestic equality” because the ruling class are more equal.
