I want to say an unequivocal no, but I've lived just north of section 8 literally all my life. If I came into the means and could actively suppress my nausea reflex long enough to go through with it, I'd still feel practically obligated to Engels it somehow. I like the idea of a landlord themselves organizing a tenant's union-- I almost feel like a landlord doing that needs a different title, 'cause by that point you're getting away from lord-ery-- but I also don't think that's ever happened irl in the west
