    Capitalism manufactures scarcity. Even when we have plenty, capitalism must create limits on the sharing of free resources

      This is what I keep telling people, we already live in a post-scarcity world… We just can’t reap the benefits because Capitalism forces us to pretend we don’t.

        “Yes, we already have more empty houses than homeless people, but I’m sure building more houses is the solution to homelessness. We can’t disrupt the economy, after all.”

        We need to instill voters with the courage to vote for actual left wing parties so we can get some politicians in Parliament who’ll just do what needs to be done, and seize the empty houses from the investors and landlords.
