Nice burn, even brought in the "libertarian", at least be consistent, if I am a Zizekian heretic, I'm not an individualist libertarian who's afraid of authority, I am of course a liberal anticommunist reactionary who won't acknowledge the achievements of "really existing socialism". You strike me as someone who would have written a hit piece on Marx for profiting from British imperialism and his capitalist buddy Engels, citing the letter and his drinking habits to make clear that he is an immature mind, then join some utopian socialist fringe group.

I don’t why you’d have that impression, but you guessed wrong.

Can someone be a landlord and a communist at the same time?

It’s a red flag. At the highest level this boils down to whether that someone is consistently a traitor to their class.

In my estimation Engels was consistent.

How are you deciding I would think anything like that from what little you know about me? Very strange assumptions.
