    Housing and affordable housing should totally be a human right. Look at all the global inequality and how it keeps on growing, the Rich 🤑 / wealthy are accumulating and consolidating wealth 🤑 … Locking people out of opportunities 😕😔😔😐 n the governments do nothing to protect their citizens from the legal corruption… In fact they help the corporations out.

    If people who built nations and kept them running ( the workers / ETC) were compensated properly we’d all have housing, food, clean water ETC. It’s called sharing the profits / wealth. But that’s not what monopolies and people at the top 🎩 🔝 of industries do.

    I mean US still got child labor 😭 till this day.

    People that keep the countries running need to go on a strike / protest all at once for a week or two and demand some kind of equality from their government or otherwise no work no running economy!!

    It’s been done before and it can happen again if we can brave sharing food and water with each other for a week or more.

    Ye… idk 😶😐 n or get how someone might like and or support communism , like even if they support the idea on paper or the karl marx communist menefesto. Most ppl think 🤔 of communism as soviet union , china or north korea, vietnam , cuba ETC … n 😭 none o’ those countries are worth living in (IMHO). I mean they’ve no freedom n or democracy or hope of democratizing. Sure some countries are flawed democracies, even some in western Europe, n US also is another. But at least these countries have a potential to get to a Full Democracy status.

    Like when I hear about communism, it makes me wanna throw up … what’s wrong with trying ( for any country) to be a democracy / act democratically towards the people n neighboring countries… (Meaning democracies working with/ or along side other democracies n trying to improve one another by different means )

    shrug

    As someone who was born in n during soviet union , I seriously 😒😳 don’t get how anyone thinks communism is a good idea

    I get the fact that evil powers picked up communism n twisted the idea to something else completely in some ways/aspects…
    But …
    Big BUT; I’d love to see an example of one, just one flourishing communist country in the world RN or in the past. Cause I can give You a list of plenty of countries that turned to democracy n are doing somewhat OK considering what’s happening with the world today. Or even in the past…

    Anyways…
