> on nothing but anti-capitalist dogma
What I remember from the proposal of it, it was making a pro-capitalist argument.
Based on a quick AI chat it seems that: "Some argue this form of passive income generation through rent-seeking is actually parasitic on productive capitalism rather than being truly capitalistic itself, since it doesn't create new value or contribute to economic productivity"
I think this is what I remember from the article. They claim landlords are anti-capitalistic, and one of the last holdout of pre-capitalism in our economy. They argued banning this rent-seeking behavior was needed to turn the housing market into a capitalist one.
