@Siphonay@octodon.social @typhlosion @splatoon Yeah, personal space is a basic need, in the same way that food and water is, y'know? The trick I suppose is figuring out how much someone NEEDS rather than just... stockpiling it?
@splatoon @typhlosion @Siphonay@octodon.social A lot of the land-ownership stuff that raises ire in anti-capitalist circles isn't "I have a homestead and I raise crops for myself there", it's "I buy up houses so I can rent them out on AirBnB" (Just as a couple of extreme examples)
@indi @Siphonay@octodon.social @splatoon ah i see
so if you take that idea as an axiom, then the logical continuation is to apply that thinking to the entity you're buying the land from in the first place, and so on until you come to the conclusion that land-ownership under capitalism is basically unethical as a rule
i mean i guess i'm not gonna argue but idk enough about anything to make salient contributions to this discussion
@typhlosion @Siphonay@octodon.social Yeah, land ownership is sorta one of the Big Hard Problems in anti-capitalist theory, where trying to go from theory to practice basically requires reconfiguring the entire world all at once.
But it's still helpful to think about the theory, because it can help to avoid being a capitalist asshat, and more importantly try to mitigate the damage of other capitalist asshats, in the places where you can.
