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.
- chii 4y ago> How does one aquire property such that it your own? you acquire it by fiat - and enforce that acquisition by force.
- attemptone 4y agoI'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.

- attemptone 4y agoMaybe I misworded that. I didn't want to ask, how it is/was done. But how it ought to be done.
- goodpoint 4y agoThe original sin was taking ownership by force.
