Ask Lemmygrad

I think in general we all have to live our everyday lives. For most of us that means participation in capitalist societies.

Even so, I view being a landlord, or more broadly owning any property beyond your own home, to be a choice antithetical to my convictions as a communist.

I can in relatively good conscience do labour for a capitalist, because doing so puts food in my belly and a roof over my head. I cannot in good conscience use my ownership of property as leverage over someone who doesn't own property, in order to exploit them for their labour.
