Who are you applying to for permission? I think you are relying on trusting a centralised authority here. They would let you down in favour of a special interest or a government project for the greater good.
Communism isn't good for the little guy, even if it sounds like it is.
There is an option to buy land from someone else.
I'm not saying that there should be no minimum allotted land for a person. Maybe there should, that's the welfare state and maybe free people will agree to fund it because its nice to have a safety net in society.
Churches used to do this before the role was taken by government.
I would propose a decentralized registry on a blockchain. It's the most secure way to track information we have to date and land usage registry could be readily done on the blockchain with nfts and smart contract.
No easily corrupted humans need be involved.
The system could be fully and completely automated with open source, publicly audited code.
I'm confused as to why you would think a minimum land allotment is welfare/communism. You don't get taken care of in what I'm suggesting.
If you don't build your house, you freeze, if you don't farm you starve, if you don't have other skills to trade in return for food, you starve.
Furthermore, if you don't build the house, you forfeit your land usage registry.
There is no communism or welfare in that, it's actually pretty harsh it just doesn't require that you have money to "purchase" land from some organisation that has an army and will kill you.
I'm not suggesting welfare at all:
Merely the integration of the inalienable humans rights to adequate food, shelter and water.
That doesn't mean I think people need to give it to you. That means that the robber barrens need to get the fuck out of the way and let people live as the free citizens they are.
Land ownership creates land barren, land barrens create gangs (standing armies) and extort the people on "their" land. Land barrens rules for a few generations, then they call themselves kings and queens.
No one else has the ability to aquire real wealth because the barren just sets the rent high enough that no one can compete with him financially.
If someone moves out of the barrens jurisdiction, the barrens jurisdiction magically expands to recapture the dissident unless another robber barren psychopath narcissist thinks it's his jurisdiction, the it's war
Eventually the robber barrens control the majority of wealth and are spreading propaganda about how God has chosen them to lead all the other people because they are special.
Land ownership and territorial demarcation are 100% natural, that doesn't make it right, that doesn't make it moral.
We only think it's normal to own land because of 1000s of years of robber barrens, many native American tribes didn't even understand what they were signing because land ownership was a completely foreign concept to them.
They had territorial disputes, but that was over food and resources, they considered the actual physical land to be owner less and the concept of owning it to be insane because the land belong to the creator.
Let that sink in, the land belong to the creator.
What did the creator tell you?
That the land, animals, plants and rocks are all for your use as a human.
No one in history ever had the ability to buy land from God.
The land belongs to him. Even the promised land wasnt given to the Jews, it was just set aside for their exclusive use, God still very much claims ownership over that land.
Any one claiming they own land is claiming they own gods property, you wanna explain to the big guy why you murdered people who are using land he explicitly gave permission to all humans to use?
This is all very managed, it's the opposite of free IMO. People are always going to be checking that you meet the criteria to be on the land.
A certain amount of ownership promotes freedom.
Supposing I want ten acres of land and I just want to leave it to the wildflowers and sit and meditate in it instead of building or farming it and I want to live and sleep in a Japanese style sleep pod in a city at other times. I am not free to do that in your system. In a situation where I own that land, I can do that. I know that's very contrived, but there are people who would want to do that kind of thing without being answerable to authority.
Someone always needs to be forced to give these things away if they are required by rights by someone else. That's the basis of communism. As soon as you specify this model then it is communism and the list of inalienable material rights keep growing until the system fails.
If you have a voluntary system of welfare, it gets round this issue. If the charity people are asking for becomes too much you just say no. a high enough proportion of people want to help others for this system to work IMO. They want to cut out the middle man of coercive prescriptive government and help more directly.
You trust systems more than people to do the right thing. Those systems are necessarily not free, they are coercive. they also attract the worst sort of people.
It's the Governments that need to get out of the way, they are the robber baron landowners, they are just in disguise. Their systems steal labour.
I believe I stated that the purpose of the rights is not to be given those things for free, but to be permitted to live in such a way that you can make those things free for yourself as a product of your own labor.
We currently live in a situation where you have to perpetually pay fees in order to not have everything stolen from you and be thrown in jail.
That is called indentured servitude. If you have to pay a tax to not freeze to death in winter or else. You are a slave.
And I mean it. The weather will kill 6 months out of the year where I live. Shelter is not optional. We don't have homeless people because it's too cold for them to survive.
If I don't pay my taxes, the government steals my house, even if I have fully and completely paid for it and the dead is in my name, they steal my house and leave me homeless to die in winter.
If I resist, they will shoot me dead.
Again, what the hell makes you think you are so important that meditating in a flower field is worth someone else home and lively hood?
In my system there is no property tax and you are the rightful legal owner of your home until you sell it or destroy it and as the rightful legal owner, you are the only one who is permitted to destroy it. Or even move it.
You usage registry is valid until the conditions fail.
I also didn't say you can't go on vacation. Hell I even made room for God's year of rest for the land. Of course you can go on vacation and if your growing season is only 6 months, of course you could go somewhere else while the land is useless, y could go on vacation whenever you want, you are a free citizen, not a slave worker.
Are you fellow citizens going to audit you to keep you honest. Hell yeah!
Got a problem with that, I really don't care, be honest.
If you can't be honest, fuck you.
The only thing you can't have is land.
You can have any other type of property aside from people. You just can't have land because: 1: It leads to robber barrens and indentured servitude 2: Who are you even buying it from? It belongs to God and he's already told us what he wants us to do with it in the first chapters of Genesis
You can't legally purchase land, it's impossible, you'd have to call God and get his signature.
Don't get stressed fren, we just have different points of view.
I'm not even sure that I have a total position on land ownership. I can just see problems with not having it.
I've got a position on governments though, I think they should have the least amount of power as is practical because once they take a portion of power, they don't like to relinquish it.
Practically speaking, power seekers gravitate to government and will abuse their position.
