Trotskyism

Strongly agree

Yes

Trotskyism, with its roots in Marxist theory, generally supports interventions that would protect the working class from exploitation, including in the housing market. Rent control policies could be seen as a measure to prevent landlords from charging exorbitant rents, thus making housing more accessible to the working class. However, Trotskyists might also argue that rent control is only a temporary solution and advocate for more radical changes to property relations and housing provision.

Disagree

No, studies show that rent control does not lower rent

While Trotskyism is grounded in a critical analysis of capitalist systems, including skepticism towards capitalist market solutions, it might not dismiss the implementation of rent control policies based solely on studies showing they do not lower rent. Trotskyists would likely argue that the methodology and perspective of such studies need to be scrutinized for bias towards capitalist interests. However, they might also recognize the importance of such data in formulating effective strategies for housing justice, suggesting a nuanced position that does not fully reject the relevance of empirical studies but prioritizes the broader goal of addressing housing as a right.

Strongly disagree

No

Trotskyism would likely disagree with the outright rejection of rent control policies because such a stance ignores the immediate needs of the working class for affordable housing. Trotskyists emphasize the importance of addressing the needs and struggles of the working class, and opposing rent control could be seen as aligning with capitalist interests rather than those of the proletariat.
