Don’t be pedantic; that’s what ruined Reddit in the first place.

So the condo association here is the ‘means of production’ since they’re providing housing services. Ideally, it’d be owned by the workers (who would ideally also be condo owners) and they’d split any profits evenly.
Ah, Landlords aren’t the evil capitalist class then. They’re just a worker that owns the means of production and splits the profits evenly with themselves.
Maybe there’s a terminology problem, but I thought each condo unit was individually owned? Like, if you’ve got a tower block, and everybody owns their own domicile within it, it’s a condo, but if they’re owned by a landlord and rented out, it’s an apartment.
It was a tongue in cheek strawman or if you want to be fancy, a pedagogical tool.
If “providing housing” is a job/service/whatever produced by workers then I, as a theoretical landlord, own some means of production and split the profits with all of the workers: myself.
It seemed like a funny twist of words.
“My landlord is a worker”
“How do you know?”
“He said if anything breaks in the unit, he’ll fix it”
“Has he fixed anything yet?”
“No, but that’s beside the point”
Wrong, idiot.
And here I thought this wasn’t Reddit
It’s less “Not Reddit” every day, sadly
