To change the mode of production the strike must come from tenants. Tenants must collude to draw up a list of growing demands to the point that the landlord cannot meet those demands anymore. Once they're not met the strike begins. After it begins the strike must spread to other apartment buildings.

The strike has to come from tenants and not workers because it's easier for tenants to withhold their savings. Workers don't go to work looking forward to sacrificing their income. Workers strike for better working conditions, which means better pay. Better pay has no path to changing the mode of production.

Once a growing amount of tenants strike it will have a ripple effect throughout the economy. Eviction courts will be overwhelmed with cases to the point they won't be able to enforce evictions anymore. The growing strike, by default, will render landlords eventually pointless. Paying rent will be a thing of the past which will resolve the homeless crisis among other things.

Money will begin to lose its value to the point where everything will begin to belong to the commons. Purchasing power dissolves, the billionaire class shrinks.

Once the billionaire class shrinks the state withers away, as the sole purpose of the state is to protect the billionaire (ruling) class. Once billionaires and the state wither away along with money, equality is finally achieved along with the resolution of the world's ills.

No guns, no violence. Only tenants colluding to withhold their rent will lead us down the path that is long overdue: a stateless, classless, moneyless society.
