Every landlord could literally just be replaced with a bucket or something to put money into for repairmen to take from and everything would be improved for everybody
No, that’s Why Socialism?
Fun fact, but under capitalism, you don’t really get to vote at all! You are only cleverly lied to and foolishly believe the alternative
Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.
Every single thing einstein said here has only gotten infinitely worse over time, which should surprise literally nobody who learns that capital accumulates
yeah defend the tibetan serfdom under the llamas, the mutilations and repression, that is exactly the same as China building high speed rail and power generation (always framed as “to further exploit Tibet” because you invest a shitload into infrastructure to make people slaves m i rite)
