    I agree, but my only point is that we need to start owning our own businesses because they have the doors locked on the jobs. There is another option is all am saying.

    I believe we will. Thanks

    Private property is an alternative to capitalism in my opinion.

    The breakup of communal land holdings among indigenous folk, i. e., in what became the state of Oklahoma, didn't benefit most of them and promoted wholescale land theft...

    Such IS a case study of capitalism, i. e., the promotion of personal/individual interests, at the expense of others around them...

    FYI...

    Allow me to give the perspective of an individualist:

    There are some things that I don't want to share with anyone. This includes land.
    I don't want anyone telling me what I should/ought/must/have to do with what is mine.
    Its mine. All mine. I don't share. I do as I please with what is mine ... absolutely and tyrannically.

    Now with any sort of communal property, there will be rules as well as a board of trustees to maintain the property.

    The board of trustees can go take a flying leap along with their rules.
