We can only own land if we are paying rent to those who surround us

Property rights dictate that we are obligated to stay away from the property of other people, if they wish us to do so. It is reasonable for us to respect the property of someone that has been made by them, such as a machine, or clothing; the instruments of labour. To stay away from and respect claims to the subjects of labour is different.

The subjects of labour were existent long before anyone alive today was born. We might think that to have entered the world entitles us to access to land and so on. At least, to be denied access would require justification. We must be reciprocated if we are to respect property rights, if we respect ourselves. Everyone that owns exclusive access rights to the means of production (specifically subjects of labour) owes a payment of compensation to the rest of the population, in the form of rent. We are owed rent if we agree to stay off the land of others and so to, of course, must we pay rent for the same privilege.

We owe rent if we own property and we are owed rent equally, for staying off the land of others. If our property claims are less than the median then we are owed compensation. We cannot use land as a form of saving wealth.

If the State provides Government Services, this (property rights and the ownership of land) can be resolved by replacing other taxes with a Land Value Tax. In any case, even without this form of Socialism, it makes sense to have a central authority which would organise and oversee property claims and it is to this body which a land rent (payable on all claims to the subjects of labour) could be paid.

We owe a debt to our neighbours if we claim exclusive access to land. We have no right to own land unless we are paying rent to those we have deprived.
