Damn, i really need to figure out how I can block lemmygrad in its entirety. While there are some interesting people there, I've seen 3 separate comments from accounts there posting absolute drivel just in the past 15 minutes!

How does one even count similarities and differences? What does it even mean to say there are more of one than the other?

How do you know human brains don't work in roughly the same way chatbots and image generators work?

What is art? And what does it mean for it to become "lost"?
Are you in Local or All?
Its not gentrification if we build enough of it!

Disaster happens, child mortality goes up a lot somehow, average life expectancy plummets below 25, no one is eligible for any Senate or House office 👀
Okay deleted my previous comment because this CMV is not really about socialism vs capitalism.
You are technically correct in saying that people not wanting to work because they aren't paid enough is a capitalism problem, but it doesn't really change my view on the solution of a land value tax, as it is a capitalist solution that I think only applies to a capitalist system.
Idk what definition of commodity you are using, but I will say that it seems that by wikipedia's definition something like food or manufactured goods are more of a commodity than land, something that can not be created.
I would agree that housing is a commodity though, so long as there is more land to build it on.
I think a land value tax would speed up the process of building more houses, and would make housing denser because owners of the land would be incentivised to build as many houses as possible to not loose money to the land value tax.
Wdym my tip system?
