What does “means of production” even mean in 2025? It’s not like we all work in a shoe factory
Something that produces goods or services.
For example, a musician makes music as a service, and that music can be made into a commodity either with a packaged good such as a book of sheet music or a method of storing the music (a file or disc), or you can sell tickets to hear the music.
Im a condo superintendent, so I don’t really produce anything. I just look at your leaky roof, nod and call a guy.
So the condo association here is the 'means of production' since they're providing housing services. Ideally, it'd be owned by the workers (who would ideally also be condo owners) and they'd split any profits evenly.
Ah, Landlords aren't the evil capitalist class then. They're just a worker that owns the means of production and splits the profits evenly with themselves.
Maybe there's a terminology problem, but I thought each condo unit was individually owned? Like, if you've got a tower block, and everybody owns their own domicile within it, it's a condo, but if they're owned by a landlord and rented out, it's an apartment.
Wrong, idiot.
And here I thought this wasn't Reddit
It's less "Not Reddit" every day, sadly
I've been toxic on Lemmy to the willfully ignorant before you were a larva, probably, know your place
Unless you're an alt of a .ml admin or Hexbear in which case yeah you probably beat me
