    US is default on the internet, that’s just how it is. I’m not from US either but still living in this paradigm.

    I’m just saying making the government the landlord wouldn’t necessarily be any better

    Yeah, obviously it wouldn’t necessarily be any better but it’s hard to be worse

      There’s loads of very dysfunctional and corrupt governments. I can see how a very corrupt and faraway government entity being your landlord might be worse than renting from someone who lives in the building or something.

        Yeah, and dying in prison because you disrespected the glorious leader is worse than living under the bridge because you can’t afford a rent working three jobs.
        But if we were to think of a system that will be an improvement, switching from barely regulated ancap dream to something managed not by profit but by desire to give people necessities is better for society. And it will have to involve a government.

          Here renting is very much controlled on both sides.

          And it will have to involve a government.

          I’d imagine some anarchists disagree haha

            In the future anarchists envision the concept of rent doesn’t exist. Unless they’re ancaps, but those can put their disagreement back to the dark place they crawled out of
