How is this even possible? Even in communism the state owns all the land. Native American tribes also went to war with each other to control different areas. Legally recognized by many or not, some person who group is going to control the land.
- dwallin 3y agoYou are mixing ownership with control. Ownership is a legal construct and therefore only exists within a given political-economic system. Control is a result of natural laws related to the application of force. Governments control their sovereign land and bestow ownership through the rules they have set. They can bestow ownership upon themselves, people, legal entities, or even no one at all.
