Inadequate rent control > Eliminating the landlord class
Edit: I’m happy for the people that made this happen, I’m sure it was really hard work. I’m also pretty sure most people, outside a few internet weirdos, don’t actually place this above the Russian Revolution or even something like the 1930s UAW strikes.
Our job is to cannibalize the people enticed by Zohran’s campaign messaging by doing on the ground organizing that appeals to them, focusing on material needs. The alternative is they do nothing or get involved in DSA shenanigans. If that means doing more than rent stabilization re: housing, it is because we have organized large enough groups to take direct action.
Our primary problem is that there are too few of us and we are disorganized.

Most people in Amerikkka think the Russian Revolution was a bad thing.
most people in amerikkka don’t know the difference between the February or October revolutions either and they consider both to be bad
Rent stabilization is not inherently a ceiling, it’s a wedge Zohran is holding to pry open the door
It’s the job of socialists like us to run into the room as fast as we can before they punch Zohran’s lights out and the door closes again
