communism? was there lead in the paint they painted your walls with?

no real argument was made for communism, however a housing / renting market controlled by the government with regulations instead of letting the “free market” (((oligopoly))) run it’s course screwing over the poor and middle class while the richest of the rich pool all these profits to build bunkers and do stupid shit.

yeah, a regulated market is better. especially when and if the government regulating the market is sane. thats a requirement for laws and or institutions relying on regulation

It's curious how the largest landowing families in New York and San Francisco are strong supporters of these anti-market policies.
