I only half agree with this assessment. Most million dollar homes are million dollar homes due to billionaires and firms poaching housing from actual families and driving up prices.
Idk WHERE we draw the line, but I absolutely say we start culling from the top and see where we land.
That’s not true, considering 60% home ownership. How can most homes be owned by billionaires when most people own their homes. Are most people billionaires?
The housing market is effed in a lot of places, no argument from me on that. But stringing up someone with a nest egg for their retirement isn’t the solution.
Marx himself wrote this long ass book explaining the capitalism of his time, yet modern leftist have no interest understanding the capitalism of their time.
This platform is so incredibly out of touch with reality, especially the more left leaning side of things.

Oh, for sure, but I’d bet my goat that the problem would go away WELL before people started looking at single family homes actually owned by families.

I don’t remember it being that big of a book.
I think all volumes of capital combined are like 1000 pages?
You’re probably right. I last read part of it for a class about 35 years ago, and I no longer trust my memory anyways.
There’s a lot they don’t understand, to be honest.
