Energy plays a huge role as you point out, but curious what your thoughts are on the monopoly of land (and restrictions placed on the unclaimed land that the governments exert their control over). It seems that the days of being able to wander to some unclaimed land and set up the roots are a thing of the past now, funneling all who would choose not to be guilty of the crime of vagrancy/trespassing to enslave themselves to some degree to the corporate prisons of our time and energy.
I am one who does believe in ownership of land as it wouldn't be fair to work land into a productive source only for others to steal the rewards of it (as government has mastered) yet this same idea of ownership is being taken to extremes allowing them to force most into their boxes of dependency. Am curious if you have any thoughts on this as I must admit looking at this from a voluntary system it leaves me unable to think of a solution that is fair to all without something suddenly not being voluntary.
The land issue is bad. So, every piece of land is owned, simply because people got their first? And they don't even use it, it's just "theirs". Everyone who comes later never can just own land like those before, now it's all owned and everyone has to pay to get something to use. The only right to land is land you actually use, as I see it. And I'm not talking about corporation. That's never owned by them, but should be on a contractual basis with the community. If they break rules, then they can get evicted by the community. Only individuals can own land that they use.
Otherwise, as has been done, anyone could go along and claim land to exploit to make money and deplete resources that make themselves rich, even though the resources where never theirs to being with. You can make a loan for $1 million, pay ppl to work, and then get rich, pay off the $1 million debt, and be an owner of everything while all you did was get a load and paid others with it to work the land to make you rich.
It's all bullshit. The government claiming it might be a possible mitigation for that behavior and rampant domination of everything... Because people won't engage in self-control, then government is empowered by those demanding external control be imposed on them. The world is going to be ruled by governments until we learnt o engage in more self-control. Anarchy is a long way away...
I think to an extent I agree. The number to which I wouldn’t agree is hard to place but people don’t need to own 175 acres of land unless they are serious farmers. I think having a few acres is reasonable and to let others do what they need in the next plots. That’s a comical thought though with the criminals who find the time to harass and fine young kids from opening a lemonade stand or shovel cars and homes in the winter months.
