>yes that was a shitty precedent to set, to make out they were helping poor people, but really the political messaging was all about defining anyone providing private housing as social parasites who weren't worthy of help. And protecting their nog base. It was a show of power and humiliation at the same time. Private property? Not under communism.... The gov't showed it can and will take whatever it wants from anyone it wants to and no one will do anything about it.
