John Seymour, he of the self-sufficiency books and all that, was a great man whose rather right-wing attitudes could stick in the craw somewhat. But he was a vehement opponent of what he called landlordism. He sarcastically said that he was so in favour of landlords that he wanted to see tens of millions of them. He wanted every "landlord" to own the bit of land his house was on and perhaps a couple of acres more. Over and above that, he was an advocate of a graduated land tax, so steeply set that he wanted to see landlords in their panic offloading their holdings at cut price to the millions. I like it!
