Of course slavery and landlordism aren't identical in every respect, but they both are based on a parasite class doing no work, and extracting labor value from people who do. Large-scale vs small-scale doesn't make landlording any more ethical.
Do you have a problem with public housing or are landlords okay when it’s the state?
