@lain @orekix okay but ask yourself why you don't have it and others do. by definition there's a degree of exploitation involved when someone makes a payment for, say, land or housing, and certainly natural resources. it's the difference between freedom from government interference in your personal effects and freedom to exploit your fellows.

@lain @orekix @shmibs the house has a value to you, being your parents house, it's more than just capital to you, and you want to keep it while still making money from it. it's only exploitative insofar as charging for any airbnb is.
i think there's the temptation of the middle class to identify themselves with the super rich, while on the one hand cursing them they maintain the fairness of the whole conceit that enables their continued existence. and that's what capitalists want. they'd love for people to think of elderly pensioners renting out their basement when they think of landlords. but by gross numbers, that's not what landowners look like.
