RE: Misrepresenting Anarchism
I chose to fund my own retirement by buying income producing real estate in my 30s and letting the tenants pay off the principal with their rent payments. I don't wish Ill on anyone but why is it that you feel more entitled to a pension and my efforts and risk taking are irrelevant? I had no trust fund or windfall. All done with simple loans and delayed gratification.

To buy and sell the earth is spiritual anathema to anyone who understands the nature of reality.
But do what thou whilst...In the end, the universe will have the final say.
And BTW: even with those incredibly strong intuitions about existence, I'm still not an anti-propertarian like many left-leaning anarchists. It's a fact that no human needs more than one house to live in. Make that the agreement for any rational sustainable spiritual civilization.
Who are you to dictate what others shoukd be allowed, based in your percepion if need? That is the height of arrogance.
The question is not what someone has, but how it was acquired. is it through the productive means of voluntary exchanges, ir the coercive means of political plunder? Politicians and megacorp CEOs fall under the latter, but people who invest in rental property or own a vacation cabin on a lake or maintain a residence in multiple cities due to work needs are hardly depriving anyone of anything.
You condemn "ownership of the earth," but when someone transforms land outnof its state of nature to fulfill a need or want, why has a superior claim to the result of that action if not the acting human? Tending a field, planting and orchard, building a home, or otherwuse mixing labor with the soil to use unowned land for productive means creates a right of use. Who has the right to violate that claim? Why shoudl it not be transferrable if someone else perceives the past human action to have added value, and thus allow an economic exchange?
