No collective guilt at all. Simply if you own land in North America you have bought stolen goods and have no more legitimate claim on it than anyone else. You can not say "this is mine because I bought it from someone who bought it from someone who stole it from someone" And people who own no land haven't done anything wrong so no collective guilt at all. Only people own land are guilt. And even they owe nothing more than admitting their claim is bogus (or returning the land to the correct owner). If you can not find the rightful owner of something, that does not mean it is yours to keep. It means it is not yours until you can deal with the correct owner. If you can't find him or his descendents, too bad, you can't claim it any more than anyone else. >care to elaborate on how it might work Admit those ideas about private property are simply self serving and that claims to moral unquestionable ownership are bogus. Manage the land accordingly, preferably democratically acknowledging free markets and their limitations.
