No, that's like saying if you can only kick you're not going to be good at getting the ball in.

War involves killing people, the goal of war isn't to kill people. Do i need to explain the difference between a method and a goal?

That doesn’t make landlords the origin of high rents.

No, it has nothing to do with how landlords are parasites, it is just explaining that it isnt the voters fault that parasitism is allowed.

If people want less rent, it doesn’t help to oppose landlords.

It helps to oppose the landlord class and abolish the idea of rent.

Renters can decide elections.

The US is empirically not a democracy. Is this going in one ear and out the other?

Yeah, we didn’t pull out because it was impossible to wage a war there.

We pulled out because it became clear that we can’t win the hearts and minds of a populace by bombing them into the stone age.

Said right in the same paragraph without a hint of irony

War isn't about killing people, it is about achieving strategic objectives. The former is literally how the nazis viewed warfare and was antiquated back then.

but the voters

The US is objectively an oligarchy based on many longitudinal studies. The problem is the oligarchy, which contains property owners.

I'm basing this off of real world data taken from socialist projects. Rent in the USSR was 5 percent of income for example.

They do not have 500 percent margins because capitalism is incredibly inefficient and they're only one small actor making money from the situation in a broader ecosystem of developers, construction companies, etc.
