It is not kind to own an excess of property

Is land more important than people? If land is more important than people, this justifies the use of property rights to prevent someone from engaging in a normal activity which sustains life. If we own all the oxygen in the atmosphere this allows others to be suffocated when we protect those property rights. If we do not have a right to suffocate the population then we must question the validity of claiming rights over the air, and the land.

We only own the land if it is reasonable for us to do so. Protecting land (with force) is defensive if we are not threatening the sustenance of other life. It is not reasonable to eat meat.

It is unreasonable to keep people off your land if doing so threatens their life and you are not similarly threatened. Since we all need land, to deny others that right (to own land yourself) can only be justified if without the land that you defend, you would suffer greatly. To deny others land we must have a compelling reason to protect it, for ourselves. To own land is to inflict (at least the threat of) violence and simple desire is not enough to justify this we must show the harm that would result if we are deprived of the land. If we have no land we will have nowhere to grow our food.

To own land is not a positive claim. We only claim that the land is not owned by others. We own what is not owned by others.

The original occupier of the land did not build it, they did not make it theirs by cultivation it was protected with defensive force. Ownership is not derived from force. Wealth is not derived from violence.

If we have no land we have been denied our natural rights. We should not be able to buy and sell land, only our own produce. Land is not owned by anyone, it is loaned to us by the community in which we live. Land is not owned. We cannot sell something we do not own.

The land is a gift from God.

Land cannot be traded for produce, we can only swap land for other land. We cannot buy land from someone who would be left with less than the reasonably mandated minimum. We cannot use force unless it is vital and to defend an excess of land (which prevents others from using it, if they want to) is not a vital action because you already have plenty of land. Even if we own land, to defend it must only be done if the loss would be very traumatic. It is not very kind to own an excess of land.

Excessive land ownership is unkind and cruel.
