Not to mention, as the Commission points out, that the Australian Capital Territory is already entirely leasehold-only, and that Queensland is also mostly leasehold-only.

So yeah, conclusion is: Today's governments are fucking wusses. End thread, lol. 🧵

The Commission stated that even if there were staunch opposition, there is no other real way to effectively eliminate profit-making from land, and noted the benefits include lowered capital costs for housing, lowered cost in not having to purchase land, and reduced need for govt subsidies. 🧵

The Commission looked at the concerns of a UK Committee who also looked at nationalisation, and refuted them; noting that "political controversy" isn't a valid objection to desirable policy, and that such a thing shouldn't be daunting given war-time experience in running a planned economy. 🧵

One of the more radical suggestions that I would like to highlight was the recommendation the Commission made for land nationalisation, i.e. conversion of all freehold to leasehold-only. Seeing how speculative holders hoard land and misuse it expecting profit, it saw a need for change. 🧵

These included government regulation of the pricing of rent and construction materials, of land transfers, etc, and participation of government in building housing. Given the Commission's findings that adequate housing was not even built *before* the war, this was deemed absolutely necessary. 🧵

The Commission acknowledged directly how greed led to crisis, and that it was not something going to change even once the war was over. Seeing the failures of the market, the Commission strongly urged the government take over and continue war-time measures, and also suggested more radical actions. 🧵

The bourgeois enjoy having an outcry about morality, strikes and boycotts, and so-called "terrorism" when workers do it.

Meanwhile, the state and the bourgeoisie constantly deploy its laws, police and military upon the working class, which is nothing more than an apparatus of capitalist terror.
