Does having an AirBNB setup make someone deserving of the guillotine or does that only apply to owners of multiple houses? What about apartments?

Please explain your reasoning as well.

    It can, but not necessarily. The issue with landlords is rent-seeking, if the state funnels all of the income towards maintenance, building new housing, or even lowering housing prices without taking profit, they have removed all issues with landlords.

    As a landlord, their goal is to make profit. As a state, their goal is to provide a service.

      You have a lot more faith in the government than I do

        In a bourgois government? I probably have less faith than you do, but one controlled democratically by the Workers? Far more than any landlord.
