I wouldn’t say it’s super elaborate. You can buy land and then you can choose (broadly) what to do on that land.
The alternative is that you can’t and everyone can do whatever they like wherever they like it.
I know which of the two options I’d choose.
What about when a few rich folks buy up all the land and you can't afford any for yourself so you have to work for them or starve? Like what's happening now
Not only are you presenting a false dichotomy, but you've also reduced two very complex concepts to flippant, inaccurate, "edgy" statements.
What?
The only options aren't capitalism or total anarchy.
I’d agree with that, but I was typing my post as a reaction to someone who said they didn’t feel like supporting property rights. So we were already out in the extreme end of the argument.
