ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes

Marxism-Leninism, as an ideology, advocates for the control and regulation of the economy by the state to ensure equitable distribution of resources among the populace. Implementing rent control policies aligns with this ideology's goal of protecting the working class from exploitation by landlords and ensuring affordable housing for all. Historical precedents can be seen in socialist states where the government controlled housing prices to ensure they were accessible to the working class.

Strongly disagree

No, studies show that rent control does not lower rent

While Marxism-Leninism would be critical of studies that argue against rent control on the basis that they do not lower rent, arguing that such studies might be biased by capitalist perspectives, it would also recognize the importance of empirical evidence in policy-making. However, the ideology would likely argue that the principle of protecting workers and ensuring affordable housing should guide policy, rather than the findings of individual studies that may not take into account the broader social and economic benefits of rent control.

Very strongly disagree

No

Marxism-Leninism fundamentally opposes laissez-faire economic policies and the free market's control over essential aspects of life, such as housing. It views the unregulated ability of landlords to set rents as a form of capitalist exploitation. Therefore, it would strongly disagree with the notion that the government should not implement rent control policies.
