@tomasleitao1775 "Its not tyrannical when only the individual is necessary to protect it" so you support a neofeudal mad max setting where it is "might makes right" there are no laws except the ones i can enforce?
so ones land is defined by what they say is their land, if they claim land you live on, well it depends who can enforce it, yea?
"there is no need to talk about how you establish it in the first place" there is plenty of nationalized and empty land, many forests are sectioned off by nations as single units
to say that you are fine with making to with what the state left for you is so cringe, its like "im too much of a baby to exist myself without living how the state told me to, but im also a hypocrite so i dont want the state"
its fucking gross, its like saying "well we dont want a state, but we want to maintain the system of regulations they had on trade, its not like we will even need to remove them or create more, so will will just maintain it as it is"
you have no real beliefs, you are a poser

@Teenar99 "rightfully, reaping the benefits of their work." capitalism entire idea is the concept that people can get to the point where they can live entirely on the labor of others, if you reach the spot of owning enough stuff, stocks, property, businesses then you dont have to work, and in perhaps a fair system thats good enough, but when you factor in predatory business practices, inheritance, corporate federal meddling and other ills that plague the system its not about rightfully benefiting from your ow labor, its about creating hierarchy

@Teenar99 "rightfully, reaping the benefits of their work." you mean social democracy like we call it
.
"
is the fairest economical system humans have ever come up with" we have had more fair societies, but its the relatively fair and very stable thus more preferred
.
"Unfair and bad business practices are mostly illegal" idk, im still relying on clothes put together in sweatshops and i get rides in cares that took cobalt from slave mines in the congo to build
but yes, its not as bad as it COULD be, we dont rely on feudal saudi arabian oil so much that we would collapse if it vanished, we would simply have a small recession
.
"one can easily manage to create a long-lasting wealth without having to necessarily resort to breaking the law" so easy that the majority of people do it, yes? no, we do ran highest in social mobility here in denmark, but not everyone can become rich
.
"I don’t see inheritance as a negative thing" so if my great great grandfather owns a boat that ships slaves to the US, he invests the money in some land in denmark, then his son builds many businesses, and his brother builds his own business from mostly his own wealth he got by working (plus some contracts with the family businesses that really helps) and then that business is eventually foreclosed because what it provided is no longer needed, and he helps his son start a business using the left over assets and then i inherit that venture one day, is it morally right?
if wealth can be traced back to crime, is there a point in time it becomes moral to keep?
.
"almost the entirety of your work is aimed towards granting them a good future" what if you got the wealth from a business that used predatory tactics that closed down many less shady ventures? is if fair that one person benefits from that wealth by getting a good education while the rest suffered from the economic downturn the predatory business brought upon them?
its like elon musk, he was privileged to upper class fostering and early education and access to family assets and tutorage, even though his personal businesses come from his own personal wealth that he made, that privileged starting position came from the wealth of emerald slave mines, are you okay with that? are you okay that slavery made one persons life easier than yours? is it fair that some people had slaves as their great grandparents while another person got to benefit from the wealth that came from exploiting that labor?
.
im ending here for not, im not going to write a whole book to throw a wrench into every sentence you write, i have given enough for the time being
.
"you still have to manage it all, which is a job in its own." hire a manager

@butitssummerma6436 the joy of being a landlord, sure its your responsibility, but not really because it would only affect a revenue stream you dont work for, a revenue stream that pays for the maintenance, simple remembering to pay someone money you didnt work for sure must be a lot of responsibility
.
private land ownership is theft, there is no way for private landownership to come into existence without theft, all land used to be in the commons, land anyone could use, and used land fell into personal ownership
but then rulers and tyrants came, STOLE the land, and then decided they where the ones who had the right to sell it back to the people as per how they defined it, as per their rules, as per their stipulations
.
and then we are supposed to suck it up and pay to keep land that was stolen from us, why should someone get to own a house thousands of kilometres away that they never use when the common people who where robbed and are in need of housing and are being gentrified out of their own cities have to respect that
.
sure theres some landlords who people like and arent shit human being, they are still part of the system of keeping stolen land from the people

@butitssummerma6436 is wanting what was stolen from us back a free ride?
if all of earth was one nation, an it owned all water, and said "you have to pay me for it" thats tyranny, that water is not yours, you stole it from the people, im not asking to be given anything, im asking the state to stop stealing it, they are the ones getting free shit they didnt work for, now instead of a state owning it, imagine its an individual
they still stole it, they did not make the land, it used to be property of the commons, not its not, not because it was given, it was stolen
im not seeing what you dont get

@shaunrobbins5902 "then all the big business owners leave..with thousands of jobs" why would the jobs leave? the factory is still there, the tools are still there, the workers are still there? its laughable that people think a rich person leaving will remove a nations ability to have jobs and resources, yes, it is that way under capitalism, thousands of peoples livelihoods are simply in the hands of the whims of some rich guy, ridiculous
"until they are eating rats in the street like Venezuela" yeah... venezuela is poor... but guess what? its been poor for a long time now, you didnt have a problem with all of the same issues + some when venezuela was capitalist, but then the people back a change to socialism as their oil dependent society constructed by capitalists begins to collapse as its now their only hope, and now these problems are all the suddenly new? its ridiculous what the media gets away with making people believe
"Tianamen square" literally like 300 people died in that event, lol
