    My laziness is immaterial. I’m not a landlord or a renter. But communism isn’t very successful really. Most places that tried it are dirt poor and don’t have enough housing and what they do have is pretty shitty. And most are bringing in some sort of ‘competitive market place’. And corruptions is a huge problem (even worse than in capitalist states). China is the big example here and Cuba is another.

      You projecting that laziness on everyone else is certainly material. Communism hasn’t been allowed to even be tried there is no imperial evidence that it doesn’t work, and a fair bit of empirical evidence that it does work properly when you stop putting a single person in charge.

        My laziness isn’t the issue. But yes the laziness of humans is, and it’s very real and not a terrible thing - it leads to efficiencies. Communism has maybe worked in small commmunities. But I think you’d find some people still get fucked over in those communities.

      In the 1970s, the Soviet Union was building over two million housing units per year, more than any other developed economy in the world.
