      Publicly-owned and controlled housing is the solution to this problem, yes. Then rents, upkeep, and all housing questions are determined at the level of public/political decision-making and not by petty tyrant landlords acting only in the interests of profit.

        It was a reasonable follow up question, governments are corporations after all and they stated they oppose all landlord/renter situations

              Since when is communism against administration and social planning? Since when have Marxists said governments are corporations? This is deeply silly.

                  No, it would not. Marxists do not recognize management positions as distinct classes, as they don’t necessitate different relations of ownership. Marxists oppose the state, which is made up of the elements of society that perpetuate class oppression, but not administration or management.

                  “Government” is not a class.

                    Those in government make up the ruling class

                    If you have government then the ruling class will use it to maintain their power and oppress the worker
