It's also a million times worse online, which was the OPs point. I'm a pinko commie by American standards, and I've been called a secret conservative online or downvoted to oblivion for daring to suggest that landlords should exist. The downvotes above just show how prickly and "no true leftist" some people are.
Why exactly do you think landlord should exist?
As an actual communist, I think that's a weird stance.
I'm not him, but the justification I've seen in the past is that some people move to different locations every few months to pursue work or they're in an area temporarily for studies and don't want to be permanently tied down. It was something along those lines. Even if that does justify the existence of *some* landlords, it doesn't justify such a huge supermajority of housing being owned by them.
