LANDLORDS COWER IN FEAR OF MAOTRAIN
"that train pic is too powerful lmao" - u/Cadende
When you look at one of those awful Hong Kong cage apartments and think: "Yes."
The fall of the Soviet Union and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
This happens in South Africa too. Building in the city centre gets hijacked/stolen by these "landlords", that divide all the existing rooms using makeshift materials, and then charge rent for basically living inside a shack inside a stolen abandoned apartment building. Very dangerous, one of these buildings burnt down recently and a lot of people died.
For those that want an international source, CNN did some coverage on it
This is the sort of shit you can only pull when a large number of refugees are desperately looking for housing in a state that refuses to accommodate them.
Ukrainians’ cracker status in Europe is contingent on whether the refugees get uppity over “rent hikes” and other “inhumane measures”
Nah, Poland has plenty of empty (dodgy quality) housing left abandoned since 1989.
This is just the thing Polish bourgeois like to do. The "everyone is trying to screw me over, so why shouldn't I do the same?" is very popular among the population.
Perpetual 1990's
A landlord from Poland divided ~~his apartment~~ into 25 ~~rooms of 6 square meters and rented them out for $320/month per room.~~
$53 per square meter per month... 
Is this the dream of every Westerner to own property that they can rent out? I hear a lot of this from Americans and Canadians about how they want to get into real estate.
It's not just a westerner thing, look at China before Mao's reforms. Look at parts of South Africa now. Feudal economic conditions lead to this kind of rent seeking behaviour being taken to the extreme. It's why Adam Smith hated landlords so much, the whole point of capitalism, to those that actually belive in it, is that's it's a progression from feudalism. So this kind of extreme rent seeking behaviour should not be a part of capitalism, according to what I refer to as utopian and idealistic capitalists. However, in actually existing capitalism, neo feudal economic conditions are recreated over time as the rate of profit falls. Which leads to this kind of behaviour and landlord worship.
The Chinese landlords pre Mao were more feudal lords than people renting out residential properties
And the people renting out residential properties are becoming more and more feudal in their tactics as time passes. Like in this post about the guy subdividing his apartment in Poland, to take advantage of a refugee crisis with the war next door.
no I mean Mao's landlords were actual literal feudal lords with peasants, manors, castles and everything
So were the people Smith calls "landlords," (who were generally renting land for farming, not shelter, as they also did in China). His point stands, it's just a different type of rent extraction.
That's capitalism confronted with finite resources, everyone just want to be a renter and reap what they don't sow
Yep, I know a 22 year old who's current financial goals in life is looking for rental properties to buy within the next year in his cheap hometown so his parents can manage it
My cousin who is 18 plans on getting a house with friends so she can get her friends to pay the mortgage via rent
Pay HER mortgage? That's incredibly deranged if so
Me and 4 of my friends at the beginning of uni considered buying a townhouse and then selling it after we graduate lol
wild that's almost exactly my landlord
Depressing news there are zoomers that are becoming landlords already
Yes. I have a cousin who bought a place and is renting it out rather than living there because she can't actually afford the mortgage on her own salary. She's living with my aunt for free.
It's bad, folks. 
Therapist: Rimworld apartments aren't real
At least the floor isn't just dirt and pools of insect blood like in my early bases... right?
Of course not. Rimworld apartments have a communal common area that is as luxurious as the situation permits, and sometimes have enough room for a double bed.
A good rimworld base is a paradise. Just make sure that the insectoids don't spawn in your storage cavern like mine
Embrace Hoxhaist thought and make every corridor a bunker.
Welp, as the Polski say
Tylko jedno glowie mam...
What an innovating and enterprising individual, bucking the trends of past inefficiencies to provide more efficient cost effective housing to people who need it most. This brave soul truly embodies the best of the Spirit of Capitalism, and the world is better for it!!
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
