We have a right to work if we have our own land

Land ownership means that we have the ability to work at all times. If we have our own land and the willingness to work then we can always produce food (if anyone can). So to have land is to have the right to work. If we do not have our own land then we must seek employment from those who desire our labour... but we can be refused. If we have no land then we rely on the employment market to produce food which means we do not have a right to produce food (assuming we have the willingness to work). If we have the willingness to work then to be without land means we have no right to work. If we have our own land then we have a right to work.
