   @royal @ned @Aslanmane the very nature of landlordism is exploitive, just like capitalism as a whole. Landlords just happen to be some of the worst. Occasionally capitalist's will have actually done some work in the past, still no excuses for them, most landlords ain't done nothing but happened to have had money. Absentee landlordism, whish is like 95% of such in The West, is completely illegitimated, and it is stealing the Lord's property from the working class for their own profit

     @ned @royal @Aslanmane artificially driving up prices of land by not occupying it and using the power of the state to prevent others from improving it causes homelessness.

     @royal @Aslanmane @fu the fact that land can be owned does not make ownership of said land exploitative. The land should be put to good use in the way that benefits people the most. And sometimes that means rent. Because having somewhere to stay is better than being homeless.

     @Aslanmane and @ned , I can't speak for @fu , but I want to recognize while there is plenty of reason to resent exploitative landlords, I trust that is not the situation with you and yours. Landlords can be fair to their tenants, even partners with them; they can take care of and improve their properties and make things better for their communities, not worse. May charity prevail.

     @fu @Aslanmane @ned Please go find those people and have a word with them. Nobody here is arguing with you about the idea that there are bad landlords. I think we all agree.

     We should also all agree that charity is necessary. If you don't, well. Your words may profit nothing.

     Landlord's who rent out there properties are by definition occupying there land.

     @Aslanmane @royal @ned no they aren't. By definition the tennants are the ones occupying the land. Such tenants are the rightful owners.

     @jordonr @royal @ned @Aslanmane biblically Christians share all resources with their community. Pretty much the opposite of land lords.

     @fu @Aslanmane @royal @ned can you point to this assertion Biblically? I can’t find anywhere that occupation equals ownership. God specifically had the Israelites remove people by force who occupied the promise land while Israel was enslaved in Egypt. In part it was God using Israel to punish those nations for idolatry.

     @ned the power of the State here includes, but is not limited to, the Register of Deeds claiming you own it, police officers violently removing residents for not giving you money, etc.

     @fu @Aslanmane @royal the land is occupied. And improved, by me! And what's with this "power of the state" nonsense? You just seem to be full of hate and expressing it in nonsensical delusions.

     do you own your house?

     
     Yes.
     

     If I turned up on your doorstep would you share it with me?

     
     certainly, we have never turned away anyone who has requested such.

     @fu also just noticed your definition of capitalism seems very different to mine. I see it as simply the free exchange of goods as services via a market mechanism. Ironically any other system would require additional government enforcement to manage what goods and services people are allowed to trade or what price they will pay.

     @ned it sounds like you are referring to a freed market, rather than the common usage of capitalism of rule by those with large amounts of capital.

     Anarchism has always been an anti-capitalist position, and usually anti-market as well.

     @fu is this an ancap argument? Shall I remove people from my property with my own force? What about others that wish to remove me from my property?

     @ned ther is no such thing as an ancap. Capitalism requires government to exist.
     

     Shall I remove people from my property with my own force?

     
     Usually that isn't necessary and just being polite will be sufficient but in extreme cases yes you or others who voluntarily due so, would be legitimate self-defense,
     

     What about others that wish to remove me from my property?

     
     Again you have a right to self-defense.

     @fu Well thankfully asking tenants politely to pay rent has worked well so far. They are even grateful to do so.

     @fu What you are describing is Plutocracy. Which I am no fan of and agree with you. Rule by the merchant class results in degeneracy and corruption, of which we know no bounds these days.

     But to say anarchism is "anti-market" seems completely antithetical and makes no sense. But the again I'm not an anarchist so what do I know.
