Why? Because apparently they need some more incentive to keep units occupied. Also, even though a property might be vacant, there's still imputed rental income there. Its owner is just receiving it in the form of enjoying the unit for himself instead of receiving an actual rent check from a tenant. That imputed rent ought to be taxed like any other income.

They pay for it to be built. Unless you think the workers should work for free and not receive any benefit from their labor. Does hexbear know you feel this way? 🤣

wait till you understand what 'tax' is

[-] ATQ@lemm.ee -2 points 1 year ago

Oh, so you just want the state to be your landlord? Enjoy your cinderblock gulag.

Socialism is...... When you own your own home??

spoileryes-sicko

che-smile

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, Socialism has home ownership.

The only thing that is state affiliated more than in Capitalism is the mean of production (businesses) being owned by the state. Everything else is still owned by individuals.

You are thinking of Communism.

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

it's a play on "communism means no toothbrush*

[-] bagend@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

You'd also be able to own your own home under communism, to be clear.

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

A private domicile is not private property, so yes even under communism people will own thier own homes.

Western countries already provide resources for our less fortunate friends and neighbors. But we don’t use the police power of the state to force those resources on people that don’t want them. We also don’t round them up and force them to fight for our Moscovi overlords that are just a itsy-bitsy more equal than the rest of us. Hmmmm

[-] ghost_of_faso2@lemmygrad.ml 36 points 1 year ago

In the west all of your children have the freedom to grow up as homeless crack heads living in tent cities, how inspiring.

Median US Household Income - $70,784

Median Moscovi Household Income -$27,634

Well shit, little Yuri, looks like a good deal for us.

you have linked me info of Russian from 2010-present, in what way am I remotely suggesting a capitalist, neo-liberal country is what im adovcating for?

[-] ATQ@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

Homeless in the US - 0.2% of the population.

Homeless in Russia - 3.5% of the population.

Is this going the way you thought it would?

[-] bagend@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Russia has a capitalist, pro-landlord economy, just like the US...

[-] ghost_of_faso2@lemmygrad.ml 28 points 1 year ago

Where did I use modern day capitalist russia to prove my point again?

[-] ATQ@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Haha. Ok !lemmygrad 😂🤣😂. Here’s your L. Have a nice day.

[-] ghost_of_faso2@lemmygrad.ml 31 points 1 year ago

Murder Rates

[-] ATQ@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

The US murder rate (6.81) and Russia (6.80) are virtually identical. The suicide rates though…

US suicide rate - 14.04

Russia suicide rate - 21.6

No word on the window rate for each country.

Happiness index

US - 6.951

Russia - 5.477

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

I think it's pretty hilarious that you assume everybody opposed to capitalism is Russian, and use that as a counter-example for why "communism" is failing today.

Did history stop for you in 1991 or something? The neoliberals won; Russia has been a hyper-capitalist abomination living in the corpse of the USSR for over three decades now. Why would we care that Russia sucks? Everybody knows it sucks now.

[-] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

I've read and re-read this thread... Do you think Russia is currently communist? Like... Putin is a communist, the United Russia Party is communist etc etc. Is this actually your belief?

[-] panopticon@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

them up and force them to fight for our Moscovi overlords that are just a itsy-bitsy more equal than the rest of u

Nice whataboutism you tankie! Centrist liberal tankie!!!

Western countries already provide resources for our less fortunate friends and neighbors

Lol. Lmao even

[-] ATQ@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

It’s true. That’s why our homelessness incidence are less than 10% of yours. Maybe that’s why you’re trying to drive yours down by conscripting your homeless and forcing them into “former glory” wars?

[-] captcha@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago
  1. Do you just assume that everyone who disagrees with you is a Russian?
  2. Did you forget Russia hasn't been communist for over three decades?
[-] ATQ@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I assume, accurately, that all you hexbears are Russian trolls, Hindu Nationalists, or various flavors of pudgey man children collectively known as college communists who want to seize the means of production from their parents that didn’t give them enough hugs. Which flavor are you? I bet it’s the last one 😂

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

racism to own the gommies. gottem

[-] ATQ@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago
