The Chinese landlords pre Mao were more feudal lords than people renting out residential properties

And the people renting out residential properties are becoming more and more feudal in their tactics as time passes. Like in this post about the guy subdividing his apartment in Poland, to take advantage of a refugee crisis with the war next door.

no I mean Mao's landlords were actual literal feudal lords with peasants, manors, castles and everything

So were the people Smith calls "landlords," (who were generally renting land for farming, not shelter, as they also did in China). His point stands, it's just a different type of rent extraction.

The Chinese landlords pre Mao were more feudal lords than people.

FTFY
