Land ownership is socialism

If we own land we are depriving other people of its use by definition. If we cannot deprive other people of the use of land we do not own land. We own the ability to eject people from an area of land. And this is a form of socialism. It is because other people consent to our ownership of the land that we are able to own the land. The group will work together to preserve the existing land claims and over-power the person who does not respect these claims. So land ownership is concerned with the power of the group over the individual and as such it is a form of socialism.
