aight i got some attention 😎 here's my thesis on classpects lol

ASPECTS:

- aspects in homestuck represent a fundamental part (or "aspect") of the universe. each aspect is a building block that, when used in combination with the other aspects, creates the universe as we (or the players) know it. the aspects primarily work in distinct pairs to create six fundamental tenants of the universe. three of these tenants exist on a more cosmic scale, and the remaining three exist on a personal scale. additionally, within each pair of aspects, there is one aspect that serves as an expanding, limitless concept with large amounts of potential; the other aspect in the pair serves to limit and guide the first with a much more concrete definition and power. (note: this is not to say the limitless aspect has more power or is stronger than the limiting aspect; there is power in limiting as well, and the broadness of the limitless aspects can make them difficult to interpret and utilize. no aspect is more important or powerful than another)

- the cosmic tenants are those that relate to paradox space, fate, the timeline, and the universe. these aspects exist on a grander scale than the personal aspects, but conversely they have little to do with actual people/players and their relationships and emotions. players that act in service to a cosmic aspect can find themselves limited in personal development; whereas those that rebel against the cosmic aspect assigned to them may find themselves personally fulfilled, but less effective in matters that the game deems important. the cosmic aspects are void/light, mind/doom, and space/time. (note that these six aspects all have symbols that are roughly circular in shape and are symetrical in at least one direction, often more than one direction.)

- VOID/LIGHT: this aspect pair deals with the tenant of CHAOS AND ORDER. void is the limitless aspect of nothingness; it is the chaos through which every concept might exist, but through the contradictory overlap it is meaningless. light limits void by giving it order, picking through the infinite possibilities and finding the one true path with meaning, creating a narrative. void and light also have associations with luck; while void represents the statistical inevitability that anything that could exist does, somewhere, light represents the infintessimal chances that any given possibility actually DOES exist in the reality the players exist in. light has a tendency to try to make things 'work out the way they should;' light players have an association with heroism and narrative satisfaction; they can seem more like characters in a story than any other players and tend to feel something is 'off' if things don't work out the way they 'should.' conversely, void has the capacity to understand that anything is possible; void players have incredible capacity to 'roll with the punches' as nothing can really surprise them, but they can veer towards nihilism and depression if they conclude 'nothing matters.' void and light are represented in a more literal sense by darkness and space (void) or brightness and sources of light (light); players that are more literal minded may end up with abilities relating to these representations, such as a prince of light being able to remove all light from an area to allow stealth attacks.

- MIND/DOOM: this aspect pair deals with the tenant of CHOICE AND FATE. mind is the limitless aspect of choices; it is the existence of every possible branching reality, brought upon by every individual choice that might be made. doom limits mind by definining the alpha timeline as the one that is 'real;' all other branches are 'doomed.' this does not mean they are meaningless, especially since doomed timelines frequently interact with the alpha timeline; it simply means the events in these timelines are not the ones fated to happen by paradox space. mind represents a player's free will, stating that their actions have distinct consequences; 'we make our own luck.' doom represents the determinism inherent to paradox space, stating that actions exist for the benefit of the alpha timeline; 'we've been doomed from the start.' doom players have a tendency to see the world in black and white, all in absolutes with no nuance; things are the way they are because thats the way they are. they may also tend to stagnate because of this; they accept things as unchangeable and are less motivated to action at times. conversely, mind players tend to take matters into their own hands; they see every outcome as something they are personally responsible for and can be extremely motivated to take decisive action. on the other hand, a mind player might find this responsibility overwhelming, while a doom player might find the predetermination freeing; it depends on the player's disposition. literal representations of these aspects include brains and dice/coins/any tool for random chance (mind) or death/decay and fire (doom); literal minded players may develop powers relating to these representations as well, such as a sylph of mind becoming able to heal someone from brain damage or mental impairment/inhibitors

- SPACE/TIME: this aspect pair deals with the tenant of BEGINNINGS AND ENDINGS. space creates limitlessly, ever expanding with dominion over all life, objects, locations, etc in existence; it sets the stage for all creation. time defines the ways life, objects, etc play out and brings them all to their proper resting point; it cleans up after space and closes chapters on space's creations. these aspects in particular and the cyclical way they interact with one another in paradox space are the most relevant aspects to the game of sburb/sgrub, because the goal of the game is to create a new universe, which lies heavily in space's domain, and it executes this goal through the paradoxical creation of players who are capable of playing the game as required, which is only possible through close association with time. this is why sessions without a space player are doomed to fail (especially considering the frog must be bred on a space player's planet) and sessions without a time player have an extremely low chance of success (the time player takes the role of making sure all loops are closed as they should be, and is naturally predisposed to clean up after paradox space). time players have strong associations with endings, particularly death, and tend to see things from the perspective of the end result. they may veer towards nihilism or determinism through this perspective, or they may find a sense of peace through knowing how things will play out in advance. conversely, space players have strong associations with beginnings, particularly birth and growth. they have the perspective of the starting potential, and may be optimistic about all the possibilities open to them, or they may be anxious from the potential ways things might go wrong. literal representations of these aspects include frogs, plants, and matter (space) or gears, corpses, and clocks (time) and more literally minded players may develop powers related to these manifestations, such as thief of time physically turning back the hands of a clock to travel backwards in time

- the personal aspects deal much more primarily with the matters of players and individuals, and players with these aspects are rewarded for developing their personal life and conversely not as poweful if they focus too much on the fate of the game and paradox space itself. each pair of personal aspects is directly parallel to a pair of cosmic aspects, they just deal with matters on a different scale. the personal aspect pairs are RAGE/HOPE (parallel to void and light), HEART/LIFE (parallel to mind and doom), and BREATH/BLOOD (parallel to space and time).

- RAGE/HOPE: this aspect pair deals with the core tenant of INSTINCT and PHILOSOPHY. rage is the aspect dealing with base, instinctual emotions and reactions, tied closely with behaviors in one's pure self interest, without trust in others and community. hope is the aspect dealing with enlightened thought, faith, and heroism; it surpasses rage's instincts by presenting lofty ideals for people to believe in, and produces heroes and strength for light's narrative. rage inspires fear in the isolated; hope inspires strength in the community. these aspects represent two schools of thought in the philosophy behind peoples' behaviors; rage insisting we are ruled by our instincts and the needs of our bodies, and hope insisting we have evolved beyond that and are ruled by thought, which can overcome those instincts. both philosophies have a degree of truth to them and combine to explain general human (or inhuman, depending on the player) nature, despite their contradictions. hope players have a strong connection to the narrative of the hero's journey (or, depending on their alignment, the villain's journey), though they are much less likely to be cognizant of this than light players. they deal with grandeur and lofty ideals about life and purpose, and can be either inspired by or overwhelmed by this, often feeling pressure to 'be a good person.' conversely, rage players have a strong connection to base emotion; they are good at finding core emotions that drive us and the fundamental feelings behind instinctual reactions. they deal with the innate, rather than the cerebral; some may find peace in their understanding of these subconcious emotions, while others may feel disturbed by the idea that they are controlled by their feelings alone and overwhelmed by this connection. literal representations of these aspects include angels and light (hope) or clowns and darkness (rage), and more literal minded players may develop powers related to these physical manifestations, such as a witch of hope summoning and controlling angels to fight for them

- HEART/LIFE: this aspect pair deals with the core tenant of SOUL AND BODY. heart is the aspect dealing with the essence of who a person is, including constants across all iterations of the person as well as their limitless potential to change across different iterations. mind represents all possible choices that can be made to influence reality, while heart represents the possible results of those choices on a single person. life is the aspect dealing with the physical and limited form that a soul inhabits; it represents the defined, exact iteration of a person in this reality and the form they take. the body (including the specific circumstances that create this body) houses the soul and limits it to one instance of a person, but the body without a soul is worthless. life players can (depending on their class), however, heal and raise the dead by reminding the body of the soul it previously held and reforging that connection. life players have a tendency to feel strong connections to their own sense of self, and can show strong confidence in their own actions; alternatively, they can feel overwhelmed by the limitations of the body they are 'trapped' in and feel as though they cannot break out of bad habits. conversely, heart players can feel overwhelmed by the enormity of their understanding of themselves, and their personal iteration of themselves can feel dwarfed by the possibilities of what they could have been; alternatively, they could also feel empowered by these alternatives and their ability to change themselves to better suit their goals and ideals. physical representations of these aspects include literal hearts and energy (heart) or plants and other forms of life (life); more literal minded players may develop powers related to these representations, such as an heir of life finding their enemies strangled by plant life.

- BREATH/BLOOD: this aspect pair deals with the core tenant of INDEPENDENCE AND COMMUNITY. breath is the aspect dealing with freedom, a disconnect from worldly and personal ties to focus on one's self. it has associations with the limitless ideals of nirvana, of removing one's self from others to achieve personal enlightenment, without the distraction of connections. blood is the aspect dealing with connections and relationships, choosing to focus more on the team or community as a whole than one's self. it utilizes connections with others to achieve social fulfillment, locking away personal freedoms for the opportunity to interact with others and creating strong social power. blood players are very often the best among all other aspects at helping other players work together towards a common goal. they are good at leadership, as long as they have and understand a goal; however, they are more focused on the team itself than the actual goals and may become lost if teamwork is not necessarily the priority. conversely, breath players are not generally good at working with a team, preferring to forge their own path, but their commitment to freedom and individuality can in itself be very inspiring to those who watch them, and they may be considered leaders in their own right (though a breath player would never consider themselves a true leader). these two aspects are not any more or less important than other aspects; however, due to the cooperative nature of the game and the game's focus on individual fulfillment and growth for the players, the aspects are strongly related to the themes of the game from the players' point of view, and as such blood and breath players are often held in high regard by others (though there are exceptions to this. it depends how commited the players are to realizing their aspect, and how contrary their non breath/blood teammates feel). physical representations of these aspects include wind, air, and literal breath (breath) or vows, family, and literal blood (blood); more literal minded players may develop powers related to these manifestations, such as a thief of blood having the ability to drain all the blood from an enemy's body.

CLASSES:

- unlike aspects, classes in homestuck deal entirely with the personal and not at all with the cosmic scale. a player's class represents how they interact with their aspect (broadly, in a constructive or destructive way), as well as whether they are benefited more by using their aspect power for themselves (active) or for others (passive). the classes are divided into 7 active and passive pairs, and both classes within a pair interacts with the aspect in a very similar way, but with the purpose of meeting a different goal depending on which side of the active/passive scale the class falls upon. these pairs are divided into three sets of contructively aligned classes, three sets of destructively aligned classes, and one pair that has ultimate control, both constructive and destructive. this exception is, of course, the master classes (lord and muse). it is this pair we will discuss first.

- LORD (-)/MUSE (+): this class pair interacts with their aspects using ULTIMATE CONTROL. unlike all other classes, lords and muses can both create and destroy their aspect and representations of their aspect, and have very few limitations to their connection with the aspect. the limitations that do exist lie within the differences between the two classes. the lord is purely an active class, and can bend their aspect to their will, and their will alone. they will struggle greatly with using their aspect to benefit others, but they will likely not feel compelled to do so in the first place. conversely, the muse is a purely passive class, and can only inspire their aspect to act in ways that benefit others. they, too, are capable of great power, but this power often comes at great personal sacrifice and they must rely on others to defend and protect them. however, by aligning yourself with a muse, you will have acess to great power frorm their aspect; their aspect will help you with your goals, so long as the muse feels as though they can place their trust in you.

- the destructively aligned classes associate their aspect with destruction in some way, whether that is by directly destroying the aspect, or using the aspect to destroy other things. the three pairs of destructive classes are prince/bard, thief/rogue, and page/knight.

- PRINCE (-)/BARD (+): this class pair interacts with their aspects using PURE DESTRUCTION. they are both often surrounded by their aspect in some way, and perhaps overwhelmed by it, and can find great power in destroying it or using it for destruction. the prince, as an active class, directly destroys their aspect in a desire to feel control over it, and must balance this with the power their aspect grants them when it is in abundance around them. too little of the aspect, and they have nothing left to control and use; too much of the aspect, and the aspect uncontrollably overwhelms them. the bard, as a passive class, invites destruction through their aspect, inspiring rather than controlling directly. their presence in a group must also be balanced; given too much influence, the bard's power could destroy everything around them uncontrollably, but with too little influence, the bard is supressed and unhelpful.

- THIEF (-)/ROGUE (+): this class pair interacts with their aspects by REMOVING AND RELOCATING. they both may feel a lack of their aspect around them, and cannot create it themselves; they must take it from others instead. both are also especially adept at turning the intangible concepts behind the aspect into something quantifiable and real. the thief, as the active class, draws their aspect to work for themself vampirically, taking representations of it exclusively from others to benefit themself. they are able to precisely control their powers and understand them implicitly. the rogue, as the passive class, struggles more with their understanding of their powers, and cannot control them as well, especially if they feel as though they are attempting to take their aspect for their own benefit alone. however, if they have a robin hood-esque motivation to rebalance their aspect and help their friends, they are capable of similar things as thieves.

- PAGE (-)/KNIGHT (+): this class pair interacts with their aspects by WIELDING them as a WEAPON. they both draw great power from their aspect and can channel it to great destructive force. the page, as the active class, is capable of channeling and controlling huge amounts of their aspect as raw power. however, this power is only accessible if the page desires it for themself; they are often predisposed to let their desires sit by the wayside and can feel lots of pressure from others to achieve their true potential, and that pressure can make it possible for a page to awaken their true power. the knight, as the passive class, can also wield their aspect as a powerful weapon, but their skills are most effective in helping or protecting others. the aspect is not kind to the knight themself, and often great power for the knight comes at great personal sacrifice.

- the creatively aligned classes associate their aspects with creation in some way, whether that is by directly creating the aspect or using the aspect to create other things. the three pairs of creatively aligned classes are maid/seer, witch/sylph, and heir/mage.

- MAID (-)/SEER (+): this class pair interacts with their aspects by COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING. they both have an innate connection to and knowledge of their aspect and can channel that information towards constructive purposes. the maid, as an active class, works in service of the aspect completely in exchange for dominion over the aspect itself; they become 'made' of their aspect. they have a fundamental understanding of the aspect that cannot be compared to another class's relationship with the same aspect, and can use that knowledge to their own great benefit. the seer, as a passive class, uses their aspect as a conduit to better understand the actions and paths they and their party must take for ultimate victory. while many seers are predisposed to work alone, their skills are much better utilized to guide others in the use of their own skills, and they are rewarded for taking an advisory position instead.

- WITCH (-)/SYLPH (+): this aspect pair interacts with their aspects by MANIPULATION AND CREATIVITY. they, like thieves and rogues, can take hold of conceptual ideas of how an aspect works, and can bend the aspect to their own will. a witch, as the active class, has incredible control over the aspect and creatively uses it to mold an optimal reality. however, their manual control over their aspect can sometimes lead to catastrophic mistakes if they are not careful. the sylph, as a passive class, struggles to reach this same level of control, but if properly motivated by the desire to help those around them, they can achieve similar abilities as a witch, albiet in a more roundabout way. the sylph in particular is drawn towards healing, and a sylph of ANY aspect might find a creative way to justify that power.

- HEIR (-)/MAGE (+): this aspect pair interacts with their aspects by PURE CREATION. they both manifest their aspect around them in abundance, conciously or not. the heir, as the active class, will find that their aspect protects and serves them, initially without concious control on the heir's part. they are beloved by their aspect and can wield it freely. the mage, as the passive class, is also surrounded by their aspect; however, the aspect is more aligned to helping those around the mage than the mage themselves. the mage can find benefit from this by surrounding themselves with friends; surrounding themselves with enemies will lead more towards detriment.

Agape 4 - Does your OC have a religious faith which emphasises the importance of a love for all people? If so then do they try to follow these teachings authentically? Or do they just pay lip-service to them? If not then do they follow a more martial or mercantile faith? Or none at all?

Philautia 5 - Has your OC always had the same opinion of themselves or has this changed over time? Have they learned to love themselves - perhaps with the help of others - as their journey progressed? Or have the consequences of their actions only served to erode their sense of self-worth?

Dusk's love for his fellow man isn't religiously motivated at all, when you get down to it. His religious beliefs are kind of a mess, to be honest. He nominally still worships Halone, because some of the cultural aspects of that are really hard to shake, especially when most of your family still worships Her in earnest. Organized religion makes him skittish, though, what with Ishgard having been all ... Ishgard.

Obviously She is a martial goddess, and it's hard to deny that is ... probably the goddess whose protection he could use when he's adventuring. Not that he usually asks for it. While he can squint and see love in some of Halone's tenants and such, it's not the focus, and he'd like to stop thinking about religion at all now please.

The other question is a thinky one ... I think Dusk's opinion of himself has been fairly steady over the years. He was a lot less confident as a child and a teenager, but that's pretty normal, and he's been an adult long enough (he's pushing 40) that any of that sort of uncertainty has long since been discarded.

While he sometimes has trouble forgiving himself, even when he was at his worst and manifesting corporeal representations of his guilt, he never tipped into actual self-loathing. He wouldn't go around telling people he's a good person, but he does like himself, and he's very confident in his ability to Fix Things now.

Thank you for the asks!

Addressing Housing Disrepair: Ensuring Safe and Healthy Homes

If you have ever experienced issues like leaking roofs, faulty heating systems, or mold infestations in your rented accommodation, you are not alone. Housing disrepair is a prevalent problem that affects millions of tenants worldwide, leading to various health, safety, and financial concerns. In this article, we delve into the intricacies of housing disrepair, its causes, impacts, legal rights of tenants, and measures to address and prevent such issues.

Introduction to Housing Disrepair

Housing disrepair refers to the state of a property that has fallen into a state of neglect or deterioration due to the failure of the landlord to maintain it adequately. This can encompass a wide range of issues, including structural defects, dampness, pest infestations, electrical faults, and plumbing problems. While some landlords promptly address maintenance issues, others may neglect their responsibilities, leaving tenants to live in substandard conditions.

Common Causes of Housing Disrepair

Several factors can contribute to housing disrepair, including poor construction, lack of regular maintenance, and environmental factors such as extreme weather conditions. Structural issues like cracked walls, unstable foundations, and leaking roofs are often the result of long-term neglect. Damp and mold thrive in poorly ventilated or damp environments, posing health risks to occupants. Plumbing and heating problems, such as burst pipes and malfunctioning boilers, can disrupt daily life and compromise safety.

Impact of Housing Disrepair

The consequences of living in a property with disrepair issues extend beyond mere inconvenience. Chronic exposure to dampness and mold can exacerbate respiratory conditions like asthma and allergies, leading to respiratory infections and other health problems. Additionally, living in substandard conditions can take a toll on mental well-being, causing stress, anxiety, and depression. Moreover, tenants may incur additional expenses for temporary accommodation or medical treatment, further exacerbating their financial strain.

Legal Rights of Tenants

Tenants have legal rights regarding housing disrepair, and landlords are obligated to maintain their properties to a certain standard. In the UK, the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 outlines the landlord's responsibilities, including ensuring the property is safe, structurally sound, and free from hazards. Tenants have the right to request repairs in writing and, if necessary, take legal action to enforce their rights. Options include contacting local housing authorities, seeking assistance from legal aid services, or pursuing compensation through the courts.

Steps to Take When Facing Housing Disrepair

If you encounter housing disrepair issues in your rented accommodation, it's essential to take action promptly. Start by reporting the problem to your landlord or letting agent in writing, providing details of the issue and requesting repairs within a reasonable timeframe. Keep records of all communications, including photographs or videos of the disrepair, as evidence. If the landlord fails to address the issue, seek advice from a housing solicitor or advocacy organization to explore your legal options.

Resources Available for Tenants

Fortunately, tenants have access to various resources and support services to assist them in dealing with housing disrepair issues. Local housing authorities can provide guidance on tenants' rights and mediation services to resolve disputes between landlords and tenants. Legal aid services offer free or low-cost legal advice and representation to individuals facing housing-related issues. Additionally, community organizations and charities may offer practical support, advocacy, and educational programs to empower tenants.

Preventive Measures

Prevention is key to avoiding housing disrepair issues in the first place. Tenants can protect themselves by conducting regular inspections of their rental properties and promptly reporting any maintenance concerns to the landlord. Familiarize yourself with your tenancy agreement and understand your rights and responsibilities regarding property maintenance. By taking proactive measures and addressing minor issues early on, you can prevent larger problems from developing and ensure a safe and habitable living environment.

Conclusion

Housing disrepair is a significant issue that can have far-reaching consequences for tenants' health, safety, and well-being. By understanding their legal rights, seeking appropriate assistance, and taking proactive measures, tenants can effectively address and prevent housing disrepair issues. It is crucial for landlords, policymakers, and community stakeholders to collaborate in ensuring that all residents have access to safe, healthy, and adequately maintained housing.

FAQs

What are the landlord's responsibilities regarding housing disrepair? Landlords are responsible for maintaining their properties in a safe and habitable condition, including addressing any disrepair issues promptly.

How long does a landlord have to make repairs? Landlords should address repair requests within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 14 to 30 days, depending on the severity of the issue.

Can tenants withhold rent if repairs are not made? In some cases, tenants may be able to withhold rent or deduct the cost of repairs from their rent if the landlord fails to address the issue within a reasonable timeframe.

What if the landlord refuses to make repairs? If the landlord refuses to make necessary repairs, tenants can seek legal advice and explore options such as contacting local housing authorities or taking legal action.

Eviction, Hawaii, and a little advice

Hello, lovely listeners, and welcome back to another episode of Worn. I'm your host, Silla Quiñones, and I'm here to explore the intricate threads of labor, self-discovery, growth, and the harsh realities of poverty. Today's episode is a sobering yet important one. We'll be delving into a topic that affects countless lives across the globe, with a focus on the US – evictions and notices.

Evictions are more than just notices to move; they're about people's lives being upended. Eviction notices arrive like unexpected storms, disrupting the fragile stability of those already teetering on the edge. Imagine receiving that letter, feeling the weight of uncertainty and fear, wondering where you'll lay your head next. Today, we're diving deep into this topic, exploring personal stories, the social fabric, and potential solutions.

The first story on our radar is of the families on Maui in Hawaii.

As many of us are aware, our friends in Hawaii, specifically on the island of Maui have suffered a horrendous fire. A fire which the Hawaii power utility company has taken responsibility for starting. They had over 60,000 utility poles which were outdated from, and I quote from the Ap article on it, “its own documents described as built to “an obsolete 1960s standard,””.

it is such a horrific situation they’ve caused by not prioritizing safety for well over 50 years on the island of Maui.

To compound this horrible event, eviction notices have been circulating. Yes, there are human beings that saw this disaster unfold and decided that it would be appropriate to claim that individuals affected are “in breach” of their leases during this crisis and uproot them. It is, in my opinion, such a shameful and horrific act to be party to.

Now something incredibly important to note is that according to the Statewide Office on Homelessness and Housing Solutions of Hawaii, it is absolutely a violation of the statewide eviction moratorium in place to protect those affected in by the fires.

Evictions during times of crisis are unfortunately common but frowned upon. Upheaving those dealing directly with the aftermath of natural disasters is discompassionate and irrational. If you or someone you knows has received an eviction notice please contact the State Landlord-Tenant Hotline or Legal Aid Society of Hawaii. Both numbers will be in description, and listed on the show’s show notes on tumblr.

Contact the State Landlord-Tenant Hotline (808-586-2634) or a legal services agency, such as the Legal Aid Society of Hawaii (808-536-4302), to seek information about your rights as a tenant if you are a Maui Resident.

Evictions are not isolated incidents; they're part of a complex web of systemic issues. They reveal the chasm between those who hold power and those who are vulnerable. This issue disproportionately affects marginalized communities, perpetuating cycles of poverty that are difficult to break. This is why I cannot encourage people enough to reach out to housing advocates and seek legal representation when faced with an eviction.

Remember, after a notice to quit, if you haven’t vacated the premises, then the landlord has to file the appropriate paperwork with the local courts. A notice to quit is not a legal document, if it is written in a way to incite fear or be threatening, take photos and document it! No judge is going to look favorably on such unprofessional and often times discriminatory behavior. Follow up with the courts directly, having legal representation is often optional but judges have been known to rule in tenant favors when they have legal representation vs in cases where tenants represent themselves.

Our society needs comprehensive changes – from policy shifts to community support networks. Some places are experimenting with alternative housing models, like cooperatives and community land trusts. These innovative approaches prioritize people over profits and aim to break the cycle of evictions because evictions do not exist in a vacuum; they’re a manifestation of a broken system. Thank you for joining us on this episode of Worn. Remember, the fabric of our society is woven by the stories we share and the actions we take. Stay compassionate, stay curious, and keep unraveling the threads that bind us. Remember to subscribe and share Worn with your friends and family. Until next time, remember that no matter how worn we may feel, we are always capable of embracing our strength and rewriting our stories. Stay resilient.

Capitalism and The State: Abusive Parents

A lot of people seem to be able to get behind the abolition of capitalism. That sentiment isn’t nearly as strong for the state. I don’t think there’s room for either in a free society, since they are both tools of oppression that depend on one another. To make this make sense, I’m going to analogize capitalism and the state to a relationship with abusive parents. It won’t be a 1:1, high-fidelity representation, but hopefully, it’ll help me make my point.

Before we get into that, let’s make sure we’re on the same page with definitions.

Capitalism is an economic system based on private ownership of the means of production. The means of production are things like fields, factories, natural resources, server rooms, social media platforms, and anything else where the owners can employ machines and/or people to do money-generating work. Capitalism also focuses on the creation of goods or services for profit. Profit is the total amount of money made in a given timeframe, subtracted from the expenses for generating that money.

This tenant of private property permeates every aspect of life under capitalism, from goods to services, to land. If you weren’t aware, this is the current economic system that rules the world. Cronyism, neoliberalism, and even social democracy (what many Americans call socialism) are all forms of capitalism. The important thing to note about what kind of economic system you’re observing is the relationship between the workers/citizens and production.

The state is the sum total of economic, legal, social, and political bodies and relations, acting as the “legitimate” arbiter in all of those spheres. The government is essentially the shape that the state takes. It’s the way the state is organized. Governments are like “species” of organization, within the “genus” of state. That’s why no matter the species (government), you tend to see certain behaviors and features inherent to the genus (state). Things like politicians and laws are a feature of every state.

Let’s start our exploration with capitalism.

So, how is capitalism like an abusive parent? Well, it comes down to the habitually bad programming and the reverence for this specific idea of “the individual”. Your capitalist parent will tell you that you have to work hard, to bootstrap yourself, to be the best. They’ll also conveniently ignore that those descriptors can’t be applied to the people that are doing the best at capitalism. Whether they genuinely believe the lie or not, it’s a lie all the same, and the results speak for themselves. Capitalism breeds inequity, no matter how fettered the market is. Private (not personal) property necessitates a class distinction. Classes are bad because they represent relative locations in a hierarchy, and hierarchy necessitates inequity. The higher up you are, the more you benefit from the system. Capitalism abuses its children by restricting the extent to which they can access the things they want and need. They essentially have to rely on luck to easily get not only the things needed to survive but to thrive. Being born into wealth is a world of difference from being born into poverty, and under capitalism, that distinction needs to exist. A handful of people couldn’t have more wealth than untold billions of people were that not the case.

But a lot of people have a good understanding of that. As things start to crumble more and more, people are and have been waking up to the fact that the promises of capitalism are effectively unobtainable for them.

The state also abuses us. On a basic level, it supports the interests of its partner. Think of the police, the military, and the justice system. The two are linked, and though they fight, they won’t and can’t break up. Capitalism needs the state, so it doesn’t violently and completely implode on itself. Though capitalism always talks about wanting to break up with the state, the state always has to come back to pick up the pieces. That may sound good, but it represents two major issues. The first is that things have to get really bad for the state to have any meaningful intervention. Capitalism breeds disaster, and the state, inadequate as its interventions are, will do things to ameliorate those disasters. But it’s always amelioration at best. Inside that realization lies the second issue; the state will never destroy capitalism. It can’t. They love each other too much. The state and capitalism have a tenuous but symbiotic relationship, reinforcing and legitimizing each other. The state makes laws that support capitalism, and capitalism allows the state to operate and expand its influence through capital. Money is power under capitalism, and the state legitimizes that power.

After reading that, you might be thinking that what I’ve described might be specific to only certain kinds of states. What about states that aren’t capitalist?

I’d argue that there are no states that aren’t capitalist. Even states that are called socialist, or states ran by communist parties, can’t achieve their goals by their very nature. Let’s think about what capitalism is. It necessitates privatization of the means of production, where goods and services are produced for the sake of profits. Even if the state takes on the role of the capitalist class, where the means of production are nationalized, the fundamental relationship between the people and the means of production hasn’t changed in any meaningful capacity. Having a single source of “legitimate” interaction with those means necessitates class distinction, which necessitates inequity. The state isn’t the people, contrary to what the state would like you to believe. Them deciding what the rules are, without any meaningful input from you, or even if they do allow you to have input, deciding when and how to enforce them without you is inherently problematic. Trusting a system to act against its own interests is like expecting an abuser to change for the sake of it…

There is a lot of things to be said about states, but know this; having people, groups, or institutions “represent” you can never actually be aligned with what you want, even if you have input. It’s like a game of telephone. Unless you’re able to have a form of direct communication, they will not be able to represent your wishes as well as you could. Another issue is that once you relinquish your power to others, you can’t expect them to act in your best interests. After all, they’re a person too, with their own interests. And, as a bureaucrat, they are in a different class than you, so as much as you may think your motivations align, they’re playing a different game.

If we truly want a society based on equity, cooperation, and freedom, we cannot rely on capitalism or the state to be tools to achieve that society. Those two systems are limited to only allowing those ideals for some, and I'd argue that this means it would be an incomplete, hollow version of those ideals. Even if we think we can get rid of one, the other will come back to recreate it, since they are inextricably linked. This does not mean that an economy shouldn’t exist, or that there should be no organizations between people, leaving a free-for-all wasteland. It’s actually the opposite; only by getting rid of all oppressive structures of domination, hierarchy, and coercion, replacing them with a grassroots, directly democratic model where people cooperate based on desire rather than compulsion, can we escape our abusive parents and reach our full potential.

The Growing Importance of Tenant Representatives in Today’s Market

Searching for the best lease terms in Melbourne? FVG Property offers expert tenant representation services to help you secure the right space for your business.

[kick-a-long]

also if you are worried about representation there are free legal services in almost every state that will represent you if you don't have the income. the land lord has very very few legal reasons to enter your apartment without your consent ESPECIALLY if you aren't there (basically water pipes bursting or fires aka things that effect the entire building) and they absolutely have no right to harass you. record what and when the incidents are and demand they contact you through legal channels.

btw: the reason this was enacted as a law is that land lords would rent to people without leases in order to be able to kick them out at any time with no notice, even if they didn't get to live in the place for the full amount they paid for. they would claim the tenant was a "squatter" and had no legal right to stay. that's why all renters sign leases. it's also why it's a REALLY good idea to make sure you are renting from the actual landlord and not subletting or just paying first and last to a guy who has no connection to the property (this happens, sometimes vacant buildings will get broken into, locks changed, and when you show up to move in the actual landlord will show up and be like???? in these cases you still have the right to go through the court system although you will probably get less time to move.) you will still get time to move but the difference is between 30 days and up to a year or two with rental assistance (aka some state or city govs will pay your back rent for you or may help pay a large part of your rent going forward.)

A Floridian Landlord's Playbook for Overcoming Common Rental Hurdles

    Florida Eviction Lawyers Hey there, fellow Landlord,   Diving into the world of Florida real estate can be as thrilling as a rocket launch at Cape Canaveral. Here’s my personal guide, honed from years in the trenches, to help you navigate the common ups and downs of renting out property. Ensuring Rent Arrives on Time We’ve all felt the sting of late rent payments. Clear communication about…

[ajmakoko]

Landlords raising the price of rentals in LA in response to the fires and housing crisis is the same reason they raise rent in general. If it was immoral now, it was immoral before - we've had an ongoing housing crisis.

Like seriously ask yourself why people care so much about the new homeless who had a house, versus the ones who never did, for generations, and likely never will? Why is it so sad that a 90 yr old lost their home they had for 40 years, but not so sad that a 50 year old was denied that same opportunity and likely won't make it to 70, and the tent home they set up for 1 month was torn down by police because people value an empty lot more than someone else's need for shelter? Isn't that sadder? We treat squirrels and empty fields with more dignity than we treat people. Unless we admit that we've justified killing people systematically to poverty and we've shirked our duty as a society to take care of ourselves.

Why should the person who lost a house to fire, receive housing before a person who's been waiting 10 years for housing?

The answer is classism, and in times of corporate feudalism, owning land puts you in a separate class than not owning land at all.

And landlords are the cops for those classes, stopping people from accumulating any wealth while double dipping themselves. In a just world, landlords would pay their tenants a wage for caretaking the home, and the landlord's pay would be from the appreciating asset appreciating, like any landowner.

And in terms of homeowners acting like police - when is the last time you saw a tent in the Palisades? A car camper? Who calls the police on these people? And why do the police even bother to respond to their calls? Because they are homeowners and I a different class.

And had they voted for policies that loterally simply housed LA's homelessness, instead of shelter first policies or charity based policies that require homeless to attend church etc for group housing which is dangerous and traumatizing and ineffective... Had they not called the police but instead their representatives and demanded housing as a solution for homelessness (and hadn't gatekept owning a home, a literal need), then there would be more services and housing available now. As it is, most of those services are extremely overwhelmed with niche requirements, like you have to be a woman with children experiencing an abusive relationship with a police report filed (literally that specific), or a felon who has only certain types of convictions and has been homeless for more than 1 year (yes, that specific!).

And the homeless have NO representation in politics and often cannot participate in politics. Almost our entire government including the judicial branch owns their own home, some own multiple homes. When we talk about the necessity of representation in politics, and how Trump wantsto round up homeless and put them in tent cities (concentration camps), which amounts to a genocide, this is a very serious conversation. And people get ANGRY when you ask them to acknowledge it or do something. Trust me, it's not the homeless who are making homelessness worse via policies.

So yeah, when reading about these fires and their homelessness, please always contextualize it with the homeless crisis that already exists and who is truly more disadvantaged by climate change and American corporate fascism and corporate feudalism.

The homeless stayed outside while the toxic ash and smoke came in from the fires. The homeless lack insurance and money to see doctors about health effects from this.

Oh and PS, the people who commit the most crime and rob the most are not the homeless (who are most likely to be victims to arrest comparatively, and who have their own microeconomies and know how to live without money), but employers stealing from employees via wage theft:

So yeah, it's the wealthy who are criminals who project that onto the homeless.
