Reply to comment by Mparker15 in The harms of gentrification | The exclusion of poorer people from their own neighbourhoods is not just a social problem but a philosophical one by ADefiniteDescription

Life long propaganda from living within the imperial core will give people automatic negative reactions to socialist teachings.

Its interesting when you reframe the violence of protests burning down institutions as in fact an act of self defense against the harm and violence perpetrated by institutions to the detriment of people.

Food and shelter insecurity is violence, as surely as an act of physical aggression.

All these misguided comments caused me to reflect about how the world's 3 biggest industries are financial services, construction, and real estate, which all use housing as one of their main commodities. The monetary interests of these industries are so prevalent that many people cannot see them for the scam they are and immediately shut down any discussion of any alternative.
