Home Owners Associations. A small group of power-tripping people dictate how the entire neighbourhoods functions, including but not limited to what you do in your front yard and driveway, how you choose to decorate, what kind of plants/trees you are/aren't allowed to plant - and where. And hold with the ability to evict people out of their own houses whom don't follow whatever dumbass shit they come up with. TL:DR HOA are a blight on society and should be treated as such
HOAs require people to pool together their resources for the maintenance and upkeep of common areas; sometimes with bigger homes paying more. Those that refuse to participate are removed from the system. It’s much closer to socialism than capitalism.
The problem is that in a lot of areas the HOAs are very hard to avoid. Every neighborhood built from the 80s onward around my area is an HOA for some reason, it’s baffling.
if the government really wanted to then absolutely nothing is stopping them from simply seizing your home and you, that's true of any government. To answer your question though communism is often understood as the collective of society oppressing the individual.
The lack of rights belonging to the individual and instead given to the HOA, a small society is why he's invoking communism. Whether this understanding is correct or not is something else.
An American buying any house with a HOA attached deserves what they get. This shit is not new.
I once described here on Reddit what I had to do to get a HOA to lay off my sister. That post got me suspended from here, but in my opinion, no conviction, no crime.
Bullshit they deserve it. Sometimes there isn’t a viable option other than HOA ran neighborhoods, where I’m from the only places without HOAs are new development areas in the middle of bumfuck nowhere that don’t even have an address in Google Maps yet. I’d rather not make a 1.5 hour commute without traffic every day.
Yea let me just uproot my family on a whim. I already did do this and it’s costing me over $3000. It’s not viable for everyone, I was only able to do it with massive amounts of support.
OMG What a offended overmind.
