So who's to say that's how it's going to go?
Because fundamentally there's nothing wrong with landlords as people. They live in an unfair system and they're doing what's best for them. That's true of the vast majority of people. Change the system, create one where doing pro social things are rewarded, and landlords will become beneficial actors. Honestly, this is true for the vast majority of people. Very few people really need "the wall"
it may not but as a guess, society tends to move inline with bettering the human condition capitalism was better than mercantilism but still leaves many to suffer, so socialism is the natural direction unless something comes up that we haven't thought of yet.
