In practice the states does the fighting, and people just buy property from the state. Even if these people want to create a new state, disrespecting previous deals is bad for reputation. I'm a new state now trick isn't an easy sell. Goods that can be taken back on a whim won't find many buyers either.

FUN FACT

"Private" and "privateer" share the same stem meaning.

Ah yes, the gibs me dat mentality. If you think you can justify being violent on the premise that violence once happened in history then I think it is perfectly justifiable to just kill you. After all, there will never be any peace or safety with you around.

It's almost like the requirement for "true" ownership is the ability to defend it.

If people want to be so pedantic about taxes, then sure, you don't technically own the land because you are not in control of a country with a private army strong enough to protect it.

This is why some people buy boats. Once the boat is paid off that's it. They can't tax the international waters around you. Problem solved. With Starlink coming soon you'll even be able to get decently cheap internet too.

in the united states, people dont really own real estate.. when you buy any property in the u.s., you are buying the right to pay rent(property tax) to the police. the police are your landlord.

if you should stop paying your rent(property tax), the true owner of your home(the police) will come to your home with handcuffs and shotguns and they will remove you from the home, and then the home will be sold at auction to someone that will pay rent(property tax).

Paying taxes and paying rent are NOT the same. Your analogy is based on a complete lack of understanding of anything beyond "I payed money to live here". As a property owner you have rights that a renter does not. Whether or not you care about or want those rights does not matter, they exist. It simply isn't true that if you own something you never have to pay any taxes on it, nor is it true that if you pay taxes then it means you don't own it.

ok, fine with me... i encourage you to own your own home and then when you get old and sick i want for you to stop paying your property tax and i will stand at the curb and watch the constables throw your ass into the street like common trash.

enjoy your property ownership.

When I'm old I will have hundreds of thousands of dollars for hookers and blow that you wasted on rent. I will sell MY house, something that I can do because I OWN that house, and use that money to go out like a fucking champ snorting a line from her head down to her toes and getting a special seat next to Jesus at the grand table if I make it past her bean.

oh great, you see i like to take financial advice from cocaine addicts, it is something that i do regularly.

especially when they are interested in hookers and blow AND when they know that they have a reserved seat next to jesus in the afterlife.

if i own a box of tools, i do not have to pay any person or entity an annual fee to possess these tools.

if i own a wrist watch, i do not have to pay any person or entity an annual fee to possess these tools.

but if i "own" a piece of real estate, for some reason i must pay an annual fee to the government.

technically, my purchasing of a home was simply a deposit that i can get back later when i sell the home, but i must pay an annual fee(property tax) to the government.

i would be willing to bet that the amount of money that you pay in property tax far exceeds any profit that you will see in the value of your home increasing in value, and if the value of your home goes down you really got screwed.

enjoy your cocaine and your whores, the whole thing just sounds disgusting to me.

you are a filthy scumbag dope fiend.

yuck.

Listen closely you anti fun idiot. I already explained this once and you still don't get it. Ownership and taxes are not intrinsically linked the way you think they are. Yes, you literally CAN be taxed for owning tools. There are municipalities that will look at your total assets and charge you a tax based on how wealthy you are. That isn't common for obvious reasons that have nothing to do with ownership. Though I bet this retarded argument that you believe was probably invented by the wealthy Jews who didn't want wealth taxes so they claimed the state can't tax them on property they own. You fell for a jewish anti tax on wealthy bullshit argument.

Greed isn't a pretty look, even when you think your propaganda makes it one.

The world was never handed to anyone on a silver platter and 90% of millionaires by inheritance go bankrupt.

Stay green with envy and wonder why you get nowhere.
