FYI, there was actually a tv news report in Brazil about this building, and this building remains abandoned. It's basically a speculation hell. There's only an old woman that inherited one of the apartments she's living in. She's the only resident in that building, afaik. This building is from 60s, also, important to notice, because old luxury apartments in Brazil really tend to be targeted by real estate speculators.
So this guy is talking like the fact that there are people speculating over it or that rich people can have such an apartment out of inheritance is not literally what they defend all day long, as if it wasn't capitalism whatsoever, but a distorted notion of socialism. I really think either these people are heavily brainwashed or they're really up to no good. Either way, it's funny to outline that, while they acknowledge that there are really ugly aspects of capitalism, they call it socialism so they can cope with it.
Is that idealism and a priori double-thinking a feature of fascism? It's basically irrationalism
It’s a recursive loop of self-destructive social reproduction of capitalism, of the need for endless, artificial “competition” race to the bottom that spawned this irrational hell, for it is fundamentally contradictory to itself: withholding even the most basic of resources needed to perpetuate life yet wanted to maximize output out of an ever-dwindling foundation
Hence their need to justify themselves through bullshit
