a squat lasting 715 days, one of more than twenty houses occupied in support of residents fighting against the demolition of the Lesnes Estate in Thamesmead. The spaces hosted assemblies, exhibitions, film screenings, design workshops, talks, dinner parties and mediation – shared with antagonism, inspiration, the banal, affection, disillusionment, hope and refuge.

From @joannechocolat
Elizabeth J. Magie Phillips (1866-1948) was an American game designer, #inventor, feminist, and writer. She invented The Landlord's Game, the direct precursor to #Monopoly, although she was never credited for this during her lifetime.
. .. ...
Personal note: she said “the object of the game is not only to afford amusement to the players, but to illustrate to them how under the present or prevailing system of land tenure, the landlord has an advantage over other enterprises and also how the single tax would discourage land speculation.”
She was a proponent of #Georgism, a single tax movement widely popularized by charismatic politician Henry George through his first book, Progress and Poverty - an economic ideology that government should be funded by a tax on land rent (wealthy landlords) & not by taxes on labour.
He might have been on to something! 🧐 Can we have this now? Please? 🙏

#alab All Landlords Are Bastards 🧵
The landlord system is feudalism, it is one of the ugliest facets of capitalism and WE DON'T NEED IT. We as a species, as societies, as communities can do so much better.
Just think of how much money is wasted on paying landlords for literally nothing. They're gatekeepers, they don't do anything at all useful. Yet most people pay half their income on rent. That's not even counting the embodied rent costs of everything else we buy and pay for. How affordable would food, transportation and services be if no one paid landlords?
And the amount of energy it sucks and the emotional toll and psychic damage it does is so enormous. Almost everyone feels helpless and stuck in situations of exploitation or outright abuse but can't escape because they have to earn money to pay rent, or can't break up with their rapist because they can't find/afford a place of their own.
None of this is normal. None of this is sustainable. We won't accept any of it any longer.

@oliverromain Making interest paid by #landlords on their extra houses tax deductible was done in Australia in the 1990s and it significantly accelerated inequality (esp generational inequality) by pushing up property prices. This might sound great in the short term if you're hoarding houses, but comes back to bite everyone in a thousand different ways. It's a dangerous trap. Rates of home ownership have plummeted as more houses end up in fewer hands.
Adam Smith and Karl Marx agree on this one: landlords are hoarding a necessity and are not a legit business.
Want to save rural towns? Campaign to abolish tax breaks on interest for those selling holiday accommodation. And for the principle that #HousingIsAHumanRight that comes before anyone's right to maximise personal or corporate profit.
