We’re currently seeing a housing crisis as the vast majority of the working class can’t afford the rent they are paying, along with a large amount of desperate renters unable to find a place due to artificial scarcity. There are viable solutions to this that can be implemented in the short and long term, but our current political system won’t implement such changes. So—in anger, frustration, and despair—we see likeminded people organize and get militant.
It is not too late to push through serious reforms to improve the situation to prevent the barbarity of the now, but it requires taking on the establishment™️ and demanding short and long term solutions; like penalizing and barring residential complexes currently vacant, prioritize the construction of affordable housing, and (ultimate) enforcing that housing a human right.
They shouldn't have done that, but at least they didn't try to kidnap and murder anyone.
No one wants to be in this position to be this desperate, but what other choice do they have? Tenants unions are few and far in between and their rights are ignored by their supposed “representatives”
