The Maoist uprising against the landlords was the most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, leading to almost totally equal redistribution of the land amongst the peasantry.

    Is this quote from something? I can’t seem to find anything other than a Reddit post.

    Well now Wombat has others well trained to recite the lines when necessary, as we see exemplified by Rom at the top of this thread, so Wombat is able to take vacations.

    I posted the full quote here once.

    Part of Mao Zedong's land reform during the late phase of the Chinese Civil War and the early People's Republic of China was a campaign of mass killings of landlords in order to redistribute land to the peasant class and landless workers which resulted in millions of deaths. Those who were killed were targeted on the basis of class rather than ethnicity except for certain provinces where it was an ethnic conflict against minority ethnicities, therefore terming the campaign a "genocide" is incorrect and the neologism "classicide" is more accurate. Class-motivated mass killings continued almost throughout the 30 years of social and economic transformation in Maoist China. Harry Wu claims that 85- 90% of the 15 million members of the landlord class did not survive in China because large numbers of them fled overseas, especially from the south.

    Historian Walter Scheidel notes that the violence of the land reform campaign had a significant impact on economic inequality. He gives as an example the village of Zhangzhuangcun, made famous by Hinton's book Fanshen: In Zhangzhuangcun, in the more thoroughly reformed north of the country, most "landlords" and "rich peasants" had lost all their land and often their lives or had fled. All formerly landless workers had received land, which eliminated this category altogether. As a result, "middling peasants," who now accounted for 90 percent of the village population, owned 90.8 percent of the land, as close to perfect equality as one could possibly hope for.

    The original source is this: Hinton's book Fanshen: In Zhangzhuangcun.

    I made the mistake of looking at a reddit-logo thread on this and of course basically every comment was a stupid joke, I don't think I saw a single person take it seriously, let alone condem it (except in moralistic "prostitution bad" ways that shifts blame to the women being taken advantage of)

    How else are you supposed to sympathize with the landlord if they didn't show a bangable early twenties blonde to make you aspire to be a part of the class that gets to exploit her?

    If they showed some gross early sixties landloser pervert, everyone would immediately see how fucked up the arrangement is, which your advertising clients might not appreciate.

    these things were always a gross fantasy old pervs would post about but for some idiotic reason i assumed actual rental sites would remove them for being super illegal.

    why haven't any of these men been arrested? cop says "it's an offence" well they literally list their fucking addresses publicly on the internet! guess this just doesn't warrant valuable cop time because these sex crimes are being committed by landlords?

    When asked for comment by a local newspaper, the director of Small Ownership Landlords of Ontario said it was likely fake.

    says the association that does not discipline these postings and tirelessly defends the fiat of landlords to extract whatever they want from tenants

    However, there was some skepticism about the ad's authenticity. When asked for comment by a local newspaper, the director of Small Ownership Landlords of Ontario said it was likely fake.

    No shit? Why would you ask this person anything other than "why are you not in a meat grinder right now?"

    But don't you know landlords are hard-working poor people who struggle to pay their bills! They have so little money they need your money to just break even!
