    Inadequate rent control > Eliminating the landlord class

    stalin-bummed

    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.

      Most people in Amerikkka think the Russian Revolution was a bad thing.

      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

        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.
