In the UK at least food is really cheap. But housing costs an absolute fortune in comparison.

Because housing is still allowed to be ~~a plaything~~ an investment for the (foreign) rich.

More than that, they make living in a temporary structure nearly impossible to do legally.

Why do I need their fucking permission to live in a cabin out in the woods. I could build the cabin completely legally, the only part I can't do legally is live in it.

Because industrialists at the beginning of the industrial revolution lobbied for private land ownership to push out common land ownership so people couldn't eek out a subsistence life and were forced to work in factories in deplorable circumstances.

This isn't even common land, you can own the land and it's still illegal.

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.
