Rent Abolition Revisited: The Indentured Tenant

The mythos of capitalism in America is constructed on the basis of “economic freedom”. One is free to own property; one is free to open a business; one is free to buy luxuries. These freedoms seem reasonable and desirable — principles upon which to build a “free” society. However, if we were to say that one is free to work for a wage, one is free to pay rent, and one is free to be in debt, suddenly the principle of “economic freedom” seems less desirable [...] “Freedom”, in our society, is a privilege dependent upon class [...] [Y]ou are either extorted by the landlord, or indebted to the banker [...] With this set of arrangements our “economic freedom” boils down to the freedom to be extorted by housing debt, or the freedom to be homeless. When the veil of the American Dream is lifted from the capitalist machine, it becomes obvious that “freedom” for the American proletariat means freedom to obey, or freedom to die.

“There is a brand-new Telegram channel to announce CrimethInc. projects and provide a forum to discuss them.
At the turn of the century, CrimethInc. cells established and curated some of the early online spaces for horizontal discussion and coordination, such as the now long defunct forums crimethinc.net and crimethinc.info. As emerging 21st-century megacorporations integrated communications networks into Internet 2.0, designing them to promote competitive individualism, we focused our attention on offline collective collaborations. Today, we are excited to participate in a new experiment in anonymous online discussion, without the pressure to curate a personal brand that other contemporary platforms promote.”

If you're a leader of faith, or you have the space for sanctuary seekers, this is your call to action to assist on the New Underground Railroad to protect immigrants and the homeless from fascist violence. You are needed to help liberate your community members when they are targeted. Churches have special protections that prevent the state from interfering with people from practicing faith. Churches across the nation were a part of the original underground railroad providing places for runaway slaves to hide and live. In world war 2 churches and people across Europe hid Jews from persecution. You have a role in Americas uprisings and that is to be there to protect the homeless and immigrants from persecution this winter while the state continues the violence against them. ICE had invaded peoples homes and kidnapped and imprisoned their children. In Georgia whistleblowers revealed that mass hysterectomies being performed on immigrants in detention. Several cities arrest the homeless sleeping outside in the winter. They often have nowhere to go and their survival rates of living outside drops in the winter. You have roles to help these people when the government is targeting them. So do that. Aid by providing spaces for liberation. Do you have an affinity group with a private hall? Open it up to folks in need of sanctuary. Do you have extra homes that are unoccupied? Let someone seeking sanctuary stay there. Be a part of The New Underground Railroad and protect the most vulnerable members of your community.
