Yes, and it is an appropriate appeal. It is the equivalent of pointing at physicists while arguing with a flat earthen.
I don’t question that communism and Socialism can create better housing. My point is that as long as you are in capitalism, you have to play by capitalist rules.
Okay, so stop doing capitalism. You just said that socialism produces better outcomes.
Blaming landlords is counter-productive because renters don’t feel the need to build the power to influence the next election.
That won’t do anything. Build tenants unions and then find where your landlord lives and have a pleasant conversation with them about collective bargaining and what collective bargaining is the historical alternative to, at the minimum.
