I like private property. I love to collect things. I just think that it is a privilege awarded by men with sticks, and the more things that you allow to be private property, the bigger your state has to be. If you're a socialist, or a communist, the state growing in order to enforce interpersonal relations doesn't trouble you. If you're a "Libertarian," you don't acknowledge that the problem exists.
>land - I don't prescribe to the ideology that since you can't pick up the dirt to the core of the planet and the air some distance over your head, plus the coordinates and area of that portion of the planets surface and move it it can't belong to you
Me neither:) I subscribe to the position that justifications for private property are things like "I made that" or "this was given to me by someone who made it" or even "I can make the best use of it right now." The only justification for land is that you can defend it. The only ways to get land is to draw lines on the ground and threaten to kill anyone who crosses them, or to license the land from somebody who did. Same for air, oceans and rivers. Land ownership is crystallized violence.
When you have closed groups of people agreeing to defend each other's private property with violence, the only thing stopping them from claiming anyone outside of the group's property as their own private property is the size of their guns. As history shows, this starts with finding representatives (self-appointed or otherwise) to "sell" them land, and with the reification of the title to that land, forcing its residents to pay rent under pain of death. This is called wage labor.
