    Every generation, people want to try new things and it’s nice. But landownership can and has been and good thing in a way that just going back to “anarchy” wouldn’t work. E.g. creation of ghettos, who gets to farm the best land, etc.

    So then the suggestions are that the land are owned and “managed” by the state apparatus. Now we have a few famines in history to show us how gaining favor in a political system is not the best way to manage the land.

    I’m open to better suggestions but just shitting on land ownership seems easy and unproductive.

      Doesn’t that also mean The Irish famine shows private land ownership isn’t the best way to manage land?

        The potato famine was caused by a new type of blight being brought from the Americas back to Europe.

        I don’t see how being beaten by a novel disease has anything to do with private land ownership.
