Lol I always say I'm fine with people advocating for zoning restrictions, as long as they also acknowledge that land use planning is the most communist and regulated industry in America, in a way that would make the healthcare industry blush.
- EliRivers 2y agoLand use planning is the most communist? Doesn't really seem to be run under priciples of common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange. How would one even have common ownership of land use planning? As for making the healthcare industry blush; the healthcare industry in the US is brutally uncommunist. Did you really mean communist? If so, in what way is land planning in the US operated under principles of common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange.
- oblio 2y agoI think he meant communist in the everyday perception, more like authoritarian (so not communist in the dictionary sense). Super regulated, super indoctrinated, no freedom, basically.
- pchristensen 2y agoExactly.
- EliRivers 2y agoSo if it's not actually communist, but just authoritarian, what's the problem? And where's the authoritarianism with healthcare? In healthcare in the US, you can just go out and buy pretty much any legal healthcare you like - surely that's not at all authoritarian.
