Nobody should be allowed to own land. You can build a building and that building is yours because you built it but you can't make land and the only reason you own it is because someone in the past used violence to take it.
I'm very interested in this idea. How would that work for things that are "part" of the land, like natural resources, or even the topsoil? Would the land be "owned" by the government (I think this might already technically be the case)? Does that mean anybody could just build something in "my" back yard?
Natural resources it the prime example. I think all natural resources should exclusively be under democratic control and all profits from the sale of naturals resources goes exclusively to the government. Developed land like private housing gets complicated fast but ideally things should work like things work now but the government fulfills the functions of a landlord.
