Edit: there are some minor mistakes with the title and the text in the meme indicating that it’s Lego, not duplo…

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

    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.

      They’re just a worker

      “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”
