Well if you have a ton of synths and need to relocate due to some kind of tyrant…

Oh wait, I haven’t really thought this through.

Hehe, I can relate to ownership of tools, but I don't get it with land or resources. People born today, have slim to no chance at owning any land or resources, and are thus alienated by landlords and gatekeepers. And I'd argue it has been like that for centuries, private property being heritable. I'd really like to understand the rationale of "property being the foundation of freedom"

Having a piece of land you own sounds pretty cool. However, unless you’re part of some aristocracy or something, do you actually own it? In the USA, where the idea of property rights appears strongest, you pay a property tax, which if you don’t pay, the state takes your property so that doesn’t seem to count for much,

My property is mostly records and noise making equipment, doubt I’ll be adding land to that portfolio, unless something very odd happens (Christmas No 1 maybe?).

Interested to read better replies than this one…

To make things simple, when you think about it, every single issue has to deal with property rights. Property also means the right to self-ownership of your person, which is why assault and battery are wrong. Without any rights to your property and what you choose to do with it, you effectively delegate control to somebody else, which is slavery.

This same logic goes for land and resources, as everyone also needs space to exercise their rights.

I appreciate your effort, but i still don't get it for the land and resources: unless we communalize the land and resources, how does everyone get access to them?
