There's just a vocal contingent of left politics who believe that what the people secretly crave is socialism, that tenants don't want merely shelter at a fair price but the elimination of property as a concept altogether, and this contingent has plenty of overlap with press reporters.
- nerdponx 3y agoIt's clear that you've never talked to any leftist about this, because what you're likely to hear is an argument that everyone should have the right to own their own home (yes, as private property). Are there are a lot of practical problems with a world that truly has no landlords? Of course. But it does you no good to make stuff up about a school of thought you clearly know nothing about and have never attempted to engage with.
