RE: Limits of Ownership
Well, if people can realize the wrong of it, force can be used to reset things right. Just like when slavery was wrong, force was used to stop it. Expecting people who have gotten things from a corrupted way of life to just stop is not going to happen in short time, force often needs to be used. Things never got corrected from centuries of ill gotten land gains. A correction needs to happen. Voluntarily it will take forever yo get people to give up land to put things right, they just care about whats theirs and want to keep it no matter how it was obtained long ago.
I basically agree and we all know how wrong the current situation is. I am just scared that a forced redistribution may lead us to situations as bad as the consequences of communism. Before applying force one needs to be very sure that one is not messing up. But humans are imperfect and things often start with a clear goal and then quickly move in a very different direction.
For this reason I would very much prefer a voluntary solution. I cannot see one now, but a few years ago I also did not believe bitcoin would be possible. There is a lot of potential and I may just not be able to find the correct path yet.
