Couldn't be arsed to read all the back and forth between genkaus and Rhythm. Any chance of getting a short statement of the issue?
To the OP, perhaps it isn't ownership per se that is objectionable. But some claims are more reasonable than others. I doubt anyone is going to challenge my claim to the cloths on my back, the truck I'm making payments on or the dog I feed every day. They'll probably respect my right to the place I live and the garden I keep. But my claim to all the land as far as the eye can see (even if I have documentation) could meet with some objection. If I claim to own the shore where my property borders the sea, more problems. If I claim the right to use the air space above my land to spew waste from my factory, problem. Ownership is something we've created and codified, but which is open to being refined. I'm for reasonable limits to ownership and am totally open to placing limits to how much wealth one individual can claim for himself. It would have to be reasonably and fairly done, but I suspect we'll need to go there eventually.
