RE: A Message From the Chief Anarchist For the Anarcho Capitalist Peasants.

"Whereby the greediest and most cunning are likely to accrue the most, not those who have the most to offer in a balanced way."

This, to me, is another assumption that those who are the most wealthy are 'greedy' and 'cunning' businessmen, with little to no sense of ethics or morality. Just because someone is wealthy, and chooses to spend that wealth how he sees fit, does not make him greedy or cunning. I find this assumption to be deeply ingrained in British culture, which is a heavily socialist-leaning society, hence the cultural adoration of services like the NHS.

"My point is more about how domination is taking place and overpowering of free will, with land ownership being one of the main vehicles of that domination."

Someone owning private property is not a violation of my free will. Everyone, including the Native Americans, valued their own private space, or private property. They might not have used those specific terms, but they absolutely believed in the concept of private property and privacy. If you decided to walk into a strangers camp and make a home for yourself without gaining permission, you would be promptly kicked out or killed.

"If the world is naturally the birthright of all beings, then to cordon off some of it and prevent others from entering is an act of theft which is typically enforced using violence."

The world is naturally the birthright of all beings, and people should be free to travel this beautiful planet. With that said, fencing off some land and making a home for yourself is not an act of theft and need not be enforced via violence. Humans and animals are naturally territorial beings. I like my privacy. I like having a private place I can call home, where yes, I do have the right to fence it off if I wish, and stop people trespassing. Fencing off some land, and making a home for yourself, is not in any way theft, provided I am not preventing others from exercising their free will and setting up their own home.

If everywhere was 'common land', I assume you wouldn't have a problem with someone entering your home and deciding to make it their own? Is your house 'common land', or is it inaccessible to strangers? Do people have a right to just enter your home, with the justification that it should be 'common land', or do you deserve your own privacy and territory?

"Why do you think that? Is it because you know the intended, original state of humans on Earth? Or is it because you were born into a society and culture that pushes that narrative? I see the lack on Earth as being mostly engineered (manufactured lack).!

It has nothing to do with culture, and everything to do with nature. We were born into this world with nothing. No shelter, wealth, and even limited access to food. That was, and still is, the natural state. The question isn't what causes poverty, but what causes prosperity and wealth. Through using our reason and will, we found ways to build shelter and acquire food more efficiently. The world, however, doesn't owe you any of those things. Cosmic Intelligence has ordained nature in such a way that man must work to eat, build, and create wealth of his own. None of those things are a given, for any creature on earth.

"Not to struggle to work 9-5 just to have a chance at borrowing them from someone else!"

For thousands of years, humans beings worked on the farm from sunrise to sunset, just to put food in their mouths. They worked until they couldn't work any more and died at a young age. The poorest people today live better than kings and queens of the past.

We have it easier now than we have at any point in history, in terms of wealth and prosperity.

If you do not like borrowing property from others, then build your own property. There's more than enough land. The only thing stopping you, of course, is the state - not private property owners. If you do not like your 9-5 situation, get another job. The only thing stopping people is their limiting beliefs. Choosing to work 9-5 is just that, a choice. An unconscious one, but still a choice nonetheless.
