Well I want that too. I’m just not stupid enough to think that I am entitled to it, but I would take it if anyone wants to just pay off my house.

Nope, just snippets in OP. Not even sorry. Maybe we should split Madagascar in two. See which internet nerds are really correct.

They does happen (gentrifying communities), but those people still live in reality.

Precisely

This isn't egalitarianism though they've deluded themselves into thinking it's so

They want to enjoy the fruits of capitalism without having to participate in the system. Someone else dies the work, theyvreap the benefit

Place op on the spectrum. Since when do socialists or even anarchist care whether something respects liberty


Since when is somebody that is a libertarian a socialist? They are the opposite end of the political spectrum.

A libertarian isn't an anarchist.

I’d love to see this applied on a school playground or in a monkey cage or in Venezuela just to see what would really happen

You’re thinking of a linear spectrum.

Towards the edges, I’d argue it actually arches to become more of an oval

Google horseshoe theory

Honestly, I think every Marxist "thinker" was a guy who couldn't pay the rent and decided that the resulting conflict between he and his landlord was a systemic flaw, and not his own.

Those cities have plenty of college grads with worthless degrees, 50k in debt and working at Starbucks part time who moved there for a lifestyle

This is wracking my brain.

How are you gonna stop someone from claiming property without violence?


Also, I loooooathe how all internet socialist love to talk in this international arts English. Like bitch be more concise

Disagree. They are the ones who never move in or move in way after it’s been gentrified, maybe never even knowing or caring who lived there before.

I do get some of the problems of gentrification, but I don’t think they are related to broader economic issues related to credit, homeownership, and housing supply, that goes beyond specific neighborhoods and specific races.

One of the main reasons I bought a home was because rent and housing prices were rising rapidly, so it just seemed like at that rate (rent was up 50% in 3 years) the fit here out I looked, the more I would have to save to buy a home while rent was eating into that while being harder to predict moving forward and harder to control.

Luckily we could afford it, but it’s not as easy as people act especially since home prices have far outpaced income over the last 30 years. And just like student loans, people seem to think it’s because millennials or whomever have some internal problem, so they live at home, have roommates, put off families, etc., but it’s not as easy as it once was in many ways.

Muh not explicitly consenting to the social contract so it therefore should not apply to me. Internet libertarians argue this same shite.

Their property?

Community property. I had a guy in college who was some wacked out retard come up to me during a football game and start grabbing at my Nachos...I slapped his hand away and said WTF?

"Community Nachos man...community Nachos."

Yeah...who paid for feeding this "community?"

I know these people exist, but I really think this is far less common than people argue.

I don’t know a single person who this applies to, and I spent 10 years in college, and taught some undergrad courses and not all of them were destined for some cushy job.

Most Starbucks employees seem to be either college age or not much older. And I would rather someone work and complain, then complain and not work.
