    Renting a home to live in is theft. Work with that example in your head, not cars or uhauls. Not many people say hotels are theft (though, it’s worth considering as well)

      We all gotta start reading beyond volume 1 of capital :( there’s a lot of useful stuff in 2 and 3!

          I suspect a lot of the people making basic errors in this thread get their knowledge of politics from memes. A lot of people saying stuff like “big corporations are the problem, not mom & pop landlords” which, if they read something like this single page from Wage Labour and Capital they’d understand is false. Capital is capital, and its relation to labor is the same regardless of its size!
