Marxists don’t have a problem with renting per se, we have a problem with private landlords renting to extract a profit from less wealthy individuals. Social/public renting is cool and I have 0 problems with it, and I thing we should favour it.
The underlying premise here is simply nonsense. The idea renting is exploitative or that only poor people rent are nothing more than baseless assumptions. It’s ideological drivel. Renting is not exploitation, it’s a service like any other. You pay a fee to get access to a commodity. Not to mention that you also assume that the rental market is uniform, but it’s not. There are SO many different levels and styles that appeal to just about everybody. There’s a massive luxury rental market, do you think that’s made by rich people to exploit poor people? Of course not, luxury rental units like normal rental units have people who seek them out. Renting has its own advantages.
Imagine dropping 8 comments on a thread to bootlick landlords lmfao. “But haven’t you thought of poor landlords having to call a plumber every 6 months and paying them with the money of their tenants?”
