Ownership Of Land - A Deeply Flawed Concept?

[ZenitYerkes]

Ownership -in general, that is- is an intangible invent for the societies to stabilize and establish themselves, so they can grow. Otherwise we would be fighting forever for whose the fruits I worked hard on harvesting are. It has no logic base, people have that mania of *having to* attach themselves to objects -ownership, as every single part of the Law, is just the regulation of the fact.

Depending on the regime, there are several methods to decide how people eventually owns: back in the 15th century only if you were born noble or freeman you could have your piece of soil, after the American and French revolution things changed and it was about who had worked harder; and when capitalism evolved, work meant money: thus we are where we are now.

Though actually it all began with the "I was here first" selfish statement.

Fact is, that ownership exists. Should we remove it? It would be as perfect as impossible to realize, as long as human spirit remains as it is now. Communism didn't work, because it required a change in human attitude that was difficult to reach. Machiavelli said, "those who focus themselves on how things should be and stop thinking on how they are are struck not by fortune but their ruin".

Now, building a bridge between the present and the utopia? Perfectly possible. Just look for a realistic way to join both elements.
