      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

                    No. The state is a representative of the ruling class. In capitalism, the state is an extension of the bourgeoisie, in socialism, the state is an extension of the proletariat. The state ceases to exist when class ceases to exist, and class ceases to exist when all property is sublimated into collective ownership across all of society. Without a state, all that remains of government is what Engels calls “the administration of things.” Social planning, management, accounting, and administration are core functions of large scale production and society that will remain into communism.

                    I really don’t know why you’re so confident in your stance.
