your radical acknowledgment that vacant homes should be taxed.
imagine thinking thats radical 🤣
how about housing as a human right? How about abolishing the class system where you have those that own and those who work? Any system which allows for “passive” income is by the definition of the phrase unjust.
Well, i hold some radical prude positions, as much as i fancy myself a bit of a libertine in every other way.
Like not wanting to pay for an unaccoubtable rape and torture dungeon, concentration camp, or forever prison (not qctually into prisons at all, but the unaccountable rape&torture and forever kind are extra nope to me; just cant get off on it). Such a prude in really politically radical ways, even if i think you should also be able to say ‘gay’ or ‘trans’ without being demonetized, so im also kind of radical left? Idk. People are complicated i guess.
First off creating art is and has been done for millenia without a profit motive, there are a lot more incentives for creating art and every single one of them will lead to a more fulfilling piece than simply a profit motive.
Secondly under capitalism most artists already don’t get ongoing retribution. They do work for hire, meaning the company they create their art or music for owns the art and any retribution goes to the owners of the company. How many animators do you think get royalties from disney after they’re done?
Thirdly do yo think there were no composers under old school soviet style socialism? They got paid the same as the other workers when creating films or theater productions and other stuff, there just was no royalty system that would have them and their grandchildren collect checks indefinitely without doing labor.
And that style of socialism that lifted millions out of poverty? That taught the common people to read and write? That despite gruesome civil wars was able to turn a mostly agrarian society into an industrialized one just in time to fend back and defeat the nazi beast at enormous cost to itself, freeing an entire subcontinent from the fascist yoke that it’s now sliding back under? Yeah consider me a fan.
Here is good video about childrens media in soviet times I found very interesting, and her other videos are superb too, highly recommend watching

radical compared to the status quo, thanks for allowing me to clarify
not starving kids in gaza is radical compared to the status quo, the status quo is not an acceptable benchmark.
As is not having rape-and-torture-dungeons.
Whats that about?
Im just a fucking prude i guess.
I dont know what you’re alluding to

I still dont know what dungeons you’re talking about, epstein, iof, some other fresh horror?
So, if I write a book, or compose a musical piece, I shouldn’t get ongoing retribution? What is my incentive then?
Let me understand this, are you advocating for some style of old school soviet style socialism?
