Let's translate yours: "I cannot conceive of a social housing system similar to that of social healthcare, in which people are guaranteed housing at affordable prices by law"

Umm this is against rent at all. As in ANY rent. So an affordable price is still against this statement.

This wasn’t “some rent is theft”

The post: "rent is a tax that poor people pay TO RICH PEOPLE[...]". The problem is obviously private landlordism, not social housing in the form of rent

I thought that they were simply reclassifying anyone who owned property as rich.

I have seen that argument made in good faith.
