Why should it matter how they use the land? If they want to use it purely to irritate Zuckerberg, that's their business.

- rl3 10y agoMaybe they'll organize using Facebook. An "irritate Mark Zuckerberg" group.
- twelvechairs 10y agoTo take the discussion a little wider - land is a finite and productive resource unlike almost all other property. History is full of land reappropriation when it falls into ineffiecent use - whether as goverened as such or through violence when governments fail to do so. As a simple premise governments shouldnt allow land to remain significantly underutilised
- xyzzy4 10y agoWell that depends if your ideal society is one that optimizes for rights or one that optimizes for good land use.
- twelvechairs 10y agoYes in a way. My point is really that land ownership should not be seen as a fundamental 'right' in the same way as other more fundamental 'rights'. Its actually treated this way in most international instruments (not as a right or given serious caveats) although in common conception many in the west assume otherwise.
