Verwertung und Realisierung von Kapital in der Immobilienwirtschaft
So betrachtet erscheint das Vermieten einer Wohnung wie ein „normales“ kapitalistisches Geldverleihgeschäft. Doch ein „normales“ kapitalistisches Borgen und Verleihen ist das, was im kapitalistischen Verwertungsprozess stattfindet. Das Leihkapital nimmt Anteil an der Verwertung des produktiven Kapitals und erhält dafür seinen Anteil an Profit bzw. am Mehrwert. Der Mietkapitalist tritt bei der Vermietung gegenüber seinem lohnarbeitenden Kunden, für den ein Wohnraum ein „lebenswichtiges“ Konsumgut ist, immer so auf, wie er geschäftlich mit einem anderen Kapitalisten verkehren würde. An dieser Stelle wird die Wohnungsfrage endgültig zur Klassenfrage.

BC DOESN’T HAVE THE FINAL SAY ON ENBRIDGE NOR DOES HARPER
It is humorous how the media of BC and Canada continue to ignore and sidestep the reality. The land the pipelines need to cross does not even belong to their governments. The land remains under the sole and distinct ownership of the Indigenous people who the British and Canadian settlers attempted to exterminate by germ warfare in the mid to late 1800’s and then through the cultural genocide of the Residential School system of the 1900’s. There was no war and there is no treaty arrangements, the land therefore cannot be claimed by Canada or British Columbia.
