Comment on Life is unfair to landlords
Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 3 weeks agoThere was no time component specified by which ownership is kept or lost
Nor did I say there was.
This is one of the prime cruxes of the private property argument is the ability for some to own property they don’t occupy all the time.
The time has nothing to do with this.

It absolutely does. Can I just own a home and go off around the world and lock it down preventing all others rom drawing value from it for years even decades of time.

Thats a very propertarian view of a non-propertarian issue. You have what you use. What you don’t, you don’t. If you leave your house vacant for too long a period of time, then somebody might take up residence. But if people don’t just move into your home while you’re on vacation now, why would they in a hypothetical system where the concept of property is radically different and presumably everybody has a home? Unless you’re talking about second homes? Because that’s a non starter. Nobody needs more than one home.

“Too long a time” is EXACTLY how long? This is the problem. What YOU consider “reasonable” someone else won’t. So where do you get consensus and how is it enforced. And exactly how long can I go without using something before it’s no longer “mine”. No o e in here has an answer to handle any of this. You all just rely on the vague platitudes of “a period of time”. That is not good enough.

There are entire books written about this. People here just don’t want to write one for you
