Your point is that no farmer is ever entitled to own the land they
till? I just don't think that is a workable solution. Farmers around
the world, no matter how they made the purchase of their land are
robbers? I think you might help us if you declared a political
ideology.
An appartment in an appartment block is property, and it not actually
real estate in the way that a farm with stabes and a farmhouse is real
estate, hence you can buy a farm and all its buildings freehold. With
an apartment you have to come to another arrangement, either a
leasehold or form a legal entity with the other tenants.
I am not being duplicitous. But actually what difference does it
make, According to you, a farmer can't own his business in the same way
that an entrepreneur can. No matter what means a farmer has, or the
financial products he or she might use, they can not buy the real
estate. What political philosopy does this equate to? Certainly not
the free market instincts of the Chinese who live in Hong Kong or
Singapore. And a small state often does make it impossible for you to
buy the land, but you can own property.... And it may come as a
surprise to you, there are very few farms in Singapore and Hong Kong.
I can tell you this, there is not a single farm in Monaco, or for that
matter in the Grosvenor Estates in London.
Do you not think by using states that have no farming to make a point
about land ownership is in fact not only duplitious but obfuscatory?
If you think all the farmers in the OECD countries are robbers, sure we
will never agree. And you will never agree to allow the farmers in the
third world land rights, no matter how long they have been working on
the land... or for how many generation.
And I just have to assume you can never give away on a single point, if
you persist in this obvious falsehood about credit rating systems and
how property ownership affects your score.
