You can but it’s exceedingly unlikely because your own material interest is tied to these things:
-
Ever-increasing land values (largely financial speculation and the creation of housing-limiting regimes).
-
Private ownership of housing as a profit-generating asset (commodity) rather than a human right.
-
State violence in the form of the police, who function to protect private property interests.
-
The direct extraction of working people’s money simply because you have more than they do. You could afford the down payment, they could not. Now they pay for your mortgage and more simply because they are poorer.
-
Landlords are traditionally shitty people that think of others, particularly their renters, as trying to pull one over on them.

People are more complicated then that, you really think this is an accurate point of view?
You ever seen someone get evicted, or get evicted yourself?
That’s a landlord showing you how much humanity corroded by those material intersests.
It kills people.
Two issues I have with what you’re saying, this is a generalization being used to judge an individual, and materialism isn’t incompatible with being left leaning. Do you not have possessions or income?
