It all depends on what you think about capitalism, which is the social theory that the key determinant of what happens to resources is who owns them If you are OK with that then living off rent is a natural conclusion Me, I am not "anti capitalist" (a silly identity many of my comrades have adopted) but I believe capitalism should be an economic theory that society restricts to where it is useful and away from where it is harmful

So any passive income is unethical? Receiving interest from your bank deposits is something to be ashamed of?
