Please. Four or five seconds of thought will disprove your theory.
The Moon will be the ultimate homesteading experiment: Whoever is able to put their Moon property to productive use will be the owner. It doesn't matter what the laws or treaties on Earth say; if you're there and making claim to the land, it's yours.
- Maken 10y agoUntil another guy comes, shots you and takes it. Laws exist for a reason.
- ashark 10y agoYeah. If there's no government but you find yourself capable of consistently, successfully enforcing your own private property rights... congratulations, you are the government. Long live the king/queen.
- Maken 10y agoWell, that's mostly how the feudal system came to be.
- clarkmoody 10y agoIf he shoots you and takes your land, then he may be rightfully punished for murder and theft... I never claimed I didn't want laws. Only that property does not issue forth from the state.
- maxerickson 10y agoWhat about the cartoon scenario where there are 2 people on the Moon and 1 kills the other? Is some Earthbound rule then in effect?
