    First off creating art is and has been done for millenia without a profit motive, there are a lot more incentives for creating art and every single one of them will lead to a more fulfilling piece than simply a profit motive.

    Secondly under capitalism most artists already don’t get ongoing retribution. They do work for hire, meaning the company they create their art or music for owns the art and any retribution goes to the owners of the company. How many animators do you think get royalties from disney after they’re done?

    Thirdly do yo think there were no composers under old school soviet style socialism? They got paid the same as the other workers when creating films or theater productions and other stuff, there just was no royalty system that would have them and their grandchildren collect checks indefinitely without doing labor.

    And that style of socialism that lifted millions out of poverty? That taught the common people to read and write? That despite gruesome civil wars was able to turn a mostly agrarian society into an industrialized one just in time to fend back and defeat the nazi beast at enormous cost to itself, freeing an entire subcontinent from the fascist yoke that it’s now sliding back under? Yeah consider me a fan.

    Here is good video about childrens media in soviet times I found very interesting, and her other videos are superb too, highly recommend watching

    your radical acknowledgment that vacant homes should be taxed.

    imagine thinking thats radical 🤣

    how about housing as a human right? How about abolishing the class system where you have those that own and those who work? Any system which allows for “passive” income is by the definition of the phrase unjust.

    political education

    thats not what I’m trying to do at all, I just hate landleeches. If I hurt a landleeches fee-fees with a comment I dont care, it still wont come close to the misery and anguish these parasites to the working class cause.

    Edit: to elaborate I rented from landleeches before, and heard stories from other renters, this isn’t me being righteously outraged but how I genuinely feel about them.

    Bear in mind that I find it OK, or even desirable, for people to invest, and have some properties to rent to support them in their later years.

    landleech detected. Stop leeching off other peoples income, its not the “houses” supporting the landleech but the hard work of those who cant afford even one house.

    1- build public housing, with a rent equivalent to something like 40% of minimum wage. Building should done in random areas, to prevent ghettos from appearing.

    How could landleeches even compete with this unless you make those houses undesirable to live in? They’d go under. There needs to be a baseline of misery for renting to make sense.

    Edit: also lol at the fact that a landleech thinks 40% of ones income as rent is reasonable wtffff
