There's an objective truth beyond Marxism. Markets, demand, offer. You seem to have the vision that my property is not my property and somebody else should decide what I do with my property, not me. This kind of vision ended up in blood and death of some many millions of people all over the world.

This got me wondering. How does one aquire property such that it your own? I'm thinking of some patch of land that doesn't belong to anybody, since nobody owns it there is noone I can aquire it from. Seems like there is some form of original sin involved in any form of owning land.

    I'm not really sure if your comment was meant ironically or not. So I will reply similarly. You're absolutely right and we need more of that.

  It hasn't always been this way: Property is Theft! [1] The English have a rights of way so you can walk through some private land.

Real estate is one of the most restricted property types in most places. Don’t believe me? Start building a gas station in your driveway and see how far you get.

This is the mindset all young people should have. One works for what one owns. It doesn’t matter how ‘hard’ the times are. We are Americans: we “beat the odds”, just like we did from the start.
