The real question is, would I prefer not to pay far out the ass to live here?
What are the downsides to living in affordable government accommodation, as opposed to paying for the house over thirty years, and giving the bank a small fortune in interest?
“UBI and stripping 1% isn’t communism”
Sorry, I forgot that redistributing the wealth from the 1% and providing everyone with equal opportunity is not the entire premise of communism. You’re right, my bad.
There are too many downsides that are too severe and won’t change unless we change the system. I suggest you research the successes of communism. The USSR accomplished a lot and there are other examples like Cuba
Is this a communist post? I would live to see someone succeed with that idea but not realistic (see: history)
I took a look at history and see nothing but downside of capitalism: environmental crisis, homelessness, wealth inequality
But the alternative is like russia or something lol. Don’t discount the upsides to capitalism.
Capitalism is just another step in the long line of governance systems throughout history.
Before now, feudalism, imperialism and monarchism were important steps to building towards the world we live in today.
Capitalism should not be the goal, it has many flaws and is not sustainable. Like it or not, communism is inevitable.
Or it could be something else who knows
Political theory points towards communism being the best and most likely outcome.
Things like UBI are going to be necessary soon due to AI.
Now strip the 1% of their wealth. What does that sound like?
Just saying UBI and stealing money from people (or “stripping their wealth” does not make communism? And I dont see how that could ever go well 😂.
I already live in a house I don’t own.

“I don’t see how that could ever go over well”
Yes… That’s the idea…
Youre funny
Dang I guess those are the only 2 options. It’s death cult capitalism or Russia.
Never said that. Strawman
So you commented both ‘is there proof otherwise’ and ‘never said that. strawman.’ Which is it?
Is there proof of otherwise? 😂

But the USSR is dead
