Thats it basically im just really really ashamed of my parents being landlords, they both work jobs but simultaneously rent this apartement to a family and its not even that we need the extra money we exctract from this families income, they are paid well but noo they need more and more money and seek out these stupid parasitic neo-feudal sources for absolutely no reason other than to generate more money at the expanse of others. It grinds my brain to know i indirectly profit of it and im just in shame for my parents and they wont understand, they are as liberal and capitalist indoctrinated as can be so its useless to try to refute them especially when they pull the “hooman naturr” card out of their ass’ when trying to converse with them about capitalism.
but im thankful this place exists where i can let these concerns out i dont have any people i can talk to about such things in real life. (alienation especially concerning socialists of any kind does indeed wonders to repress the organization of the masses)
When Christmas come take the video games your parents gave you , sell them and give the money to the renters

Engels’ family owned a factory and he went to work there in a professional managerial role after 1848, and he’s still upheld as the cofounder of the Marxist tradition because of his own theoretical contributions and how he supported Marx. Coming from a more privileged background doesn’t make you a bad socialist, it’s what you do with it that matters.
Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past. —Karl
Think about it pragmatically, if they didn’t own the rental someone else would, best you can do is encourage them to keep the rent down and the property well maintained.
I made a post similar to this a while back and the comments there helped me a lot. If you’d like I can link to it so you can read through the responses.
