The Chinese landlords pre Mao were more feudal lords than people renting out residential properties
And the people renting out residential properties are becoming more and more feudal in their tactics as time passes. Like in this post about the guy subdividing his apartment in Poland, to take advantage of a refugee crisis with the war next door.
no I mean Mao's landlords were actual literal feudal lords with peasants, manors, castles and everything
the falungong dream
I just realized the depth of perversion it is to have women doing ballet to celebrate "China before communism" when those women would have probably had bound feet if not for communism and therefore been unable to perform ballet (or could only do so at extreme difficulty).
I mean, they're people who believe that they can fly
the falun gong are just mad they aren't allowed to sell fake medicine anymore
So were the people Smith calls "landlords," (who were generally renting land for farming, not shelter, as they also did in China). His point stands, it's just a different type of rent extraction.
