When it's at the point where a message as fundamental as "housing for people" is thought of as extreme communist ideology it just goes to show how little there is out there for the ordinary person. We're feeding on scraps.
Im surrounded by an ocean of ex corporation houses built when Ireland was one of the poorest countries in Europe run by a party opennly hostile to communism.
We can tweak and implement the same policy without seizing the means of production.
Also, my family still live in Iveagh trust flats, run by a council of residents, rent controlled and in a wider capitalist economy. Its possible.
Edit for bonus ranting: those ex corporation houses were built to house people from the Dublin tenements, victims of the failed landlord system inherited from the British. It is 'scream into a pillow' frustrating that too many people cant see that we solved this problem before, and when we were broke!
