A perfect solution does not exist. I don’t see anything too controversial about this unless you’re implying that unions are somehow the problem. I would agree that trade unions would be better. But more ideally workers owning the means of production would be best. Though possibly still not perfect.
landlords are not inherantly bad and it’s not a “sit back and cash in” type of job.
Good landlords exist. That however does not mean that landlords are generally good. Or that the sentiment against them is undeserved. Or that we should have landlords in the first place. Far too many sit back and cash in, as you put it.
Bridled Capitalism is a better system than the comunism we’ve tried so far.
There is no such thing as unbridled capitalism. Capitalism is always serving someone. But it’s never the laborers or workers. Also Leninism != communism. (Yes they like to call themselves that and democratic. But that’s never made it true.) And no, capitalism hasn’t been much more beneficial in practice than leninism. This is not a defense of leninists. Far from. Just pointing out the pot calling the kettle black. Realistically there’s little to point to capitalism being any better than mercantilism that came before.
Sometimes views can be unpopular because they’re uninformed. Which, not wanting to debate this sort of thing definitely points to. That said, I have a bigger issue with not being able to debate/defend my views, than how popular they are with group X.
Not debating is mostly about what is beneficial for me. Interpret it as you will, I’m a happier person not trying to convince Internet strangers that they haven’t theorically solved the puzzle of how to organize society.

There’s not much interpretation to be had. Though, thanks for permission I guess?
