What, exactly, is socialism? Again this discussion seems necessary.

So your proposed system would allow me to freely use the land that nature has provided? Any land I choose? That nature has provided?

 

So not freely? People would be prevented from using the land that nature has provided unless they pay...who?

 

By making just compensation. Right. Unlike your system, under which he would just steal from everyone, and NOT make just compensation.

 

Okay. So your system would prevent me from using the land that nature provided unless I pay the owner. Got it.

 

Yeah, paying to use what nature has provided. Cool system, bro.

 

No, the landholder would, just as you said. Remember?

 

Your proposed system would have landholders?

 

No, there is no owner, as you know perfectly well (unless you consider everyone in the community the owners because you can't imagine land could exist without someone owning it).

 

If anyone wanted exclusive tenure enough to make just compensation to the community for depriving them of it.

 

Great. So under your system I could freely use any land I choose. Cool.

 

They would be restricted from freely using the land that nature had provided?

 

That's what landholders do.

I think you are smelling something on your side of the screen, not mine.

 

Wait, are you proposing landholders?

 

No, landholders would stop you, as they do in any economy above the hunter-gatherer and nomadic herding stages. You already admitted that. Remember?

 

So your system would have landholders?

 

I'm stating facts about them, and the logical implications of those facts. And you agreed.

REMEMBER???

 

Yes. As yours would. The difference would be that in my system, landholders would make just compensation for what they take from everyone else.

 

So your proposed system would have landholders? Landholders that prevent me from freely using the land that nature has provided?

 

So you are proposing a system in which my right to use the land that nature has provided would be violated by other people?

 

So .. medieval fiefdoms, then.

He who controls it, 'owns' it. When a single entity controls it, we're medieval.

 

Yes. I have answered that question from you many times. You are a waste of time.

 

Yes. I have answered that question from you many times. You are a waste of time.

 

Yes. I have answered that question from you many times. You are a waste of time.

 

So you want a system of landholders. Got it.

And they will prevent me from using the land that nature has provided. Got it.

 

Yes. I have answered that question from you many times. You are a waste of time and electricity.
