Dead Landlords

this just made my day tbh

People keep claiming he's a liar and that he wasn't attacked, but the fact he admitted to carrying a gun in his fanny pack is what sells it for me. No one I know who's not white would willingly admit to wearing a fanny pack unless under extreme circumstances.

I hope, if there does exist an afterlife, he is not permitted access to it. :)

checkmate, bourgeoisie.

I'm the guy you are responding to, landlords are different than capitalists because capitalists at least accumulate capital. Landlords do fuck all. They are literally a remnant from feudalism and if you read Marx you'll figure out that he makes a sharp distinction between land ownership and ownership of MoP.

Do you know what real estate corporations are?

i'm not him but i agree with the general point and you're all fucking retards if you think there is any mechanical difference between a capitalist and a land owner.

whether you're buying a vegetable or paying for rent, you're still being exploited in the exact same way - you produce what you consume for yourself, plus an extra surplus which goes to the master. this exploitation is only possible because the amount of resources it takes to sustain your existence in a given time period is less than what you can produce in that same period of time. this is why slavery and serfdom are worthwhile. IF you want to measure the severity of your exploitation, the ONE AND ONLY THING that should be of interest is size of the gap between what you consume to survive and what you produce in total. it's a simple calculation of X minus Y to determine how luxurious of a serf you are, not some stupid facade like how much of your salary goes into rent. the irony here is that your objection to his post originates precisely from some naive appeal to capitalist mechanics which is precisely the ideology used to mask this.

I guess Marx was a retard then.

Landlord exploitation is precisely not a capitalist mechanic because there is a difference between material surplus and surplus value that only arises in capitalism. What you described was the mode of exploitation under feudalism, not capitalism. I mean Marx goes through lengths to explain how the LTV doesn't apply to rent, this still seen today by the fact that oil, coal and gemstones have a higher price than what the LTV would suggest if applied. If we are talking about the modern form of rent, of apartments and houses, you aren't producing anything, you don't create a surplus, the landlord doesn't accumulate capital either, he just charges you, for what? Existing? If you compare the exploitation of feudalism with the exploitation of capitalism, capitalist exploitation is more "progressive" than having some landlord who can sleep with you bride before the wedding or whatever. You are some real cuck if you think landlords are "just like any other capitalist" - I mean these assholes charge me two third of my paycheck (!) which is more than the surplus value extraction of my employer.

I guess another thing that proves that landlords are a fucking feudal remnant is that you can imagine capitalism without any landlord. If all apartments where owned publicly capitalism would still exist - whereas you couldn't imagine capitalism without industrial capital or finance capital, it would immediately collapse.

yes, marx was a retard and so are you, for falling for the meme and thinking capitalism isn't feudalism. you again appeal to irrelevant mechanics to justify being a stupid bootlicking serf.

the only thing that you care about, and deep down in the depths of your soul you know this, is how much of your labor is yours. i'm not making stupid distinctions between someone stealing my wallet at gunpoint or elaborate capitalist mechanics designed to trick you into thinking the aesthetics of exploitation matter. i can prove this with a thought experiment. suppose all goods came like mana from heaven, produced by an evil devil, BUT in order to access them you had buy them with "labor points" as currency. you obtain labor points by logging into a virtual reality and working there, emulating the life of a modern worker, producing goods to be enjoyed by virtual people. inside the virtual reality is a complex simulation that perfectly models all markets, the lives of virtual people, supply and demand and so on. the amount of labor points you get at the end of each month is determined by how much virtual money you would have made in the virtual world, if the virtual world was real and you really lived there. after you're done working every day you log out and pray to the devil to buy whatever you need, you sacrifice your labor points and he manifests whatever you ask for, again with respect to virtual market values. in this case, we've equalized the landlord and the capitalist with respect to production - both of them produce nothing, and you get your goods from that devil BUT both are still exploiting you, and this exploitation directly affects your quality of life. your labor is still being stolen. the virtual profit is still being enjoyed by virtual capitalists and landowner, who then go on to log off and obtain endless labor points. from this we can see that the link between what you produce and what you consume is circumstantial, it's not material to the issue.
