It needs to be made clear that land value is created by the whole community. Take away the community and land value disappears. It follows that a land value tax is a just return to the community as a whole for the value it creates by its mere existence.

TAX LAND, NOT MAN @TaxLandNotMan

@UziCryptoo Failure to pay income tax won't just make you a renter, it will make you a prison inmate. Meanwhile, everyone needs land, so paying a land value tax to prevent land monopolization and land price speculation is fair. Also, land value isn't created by the owner, but by others.

#Georgism #LVT taxing labor instead of land was a terrible idea For those who don't know: Land isn't the only example of this (though it is the biggest), here's a good snippet from this article which explains the problem: As both Stiglitz and Henry... reddit.com/r/georgism/com…

The current (unsustainable) economic system is based on land price speculation, not wealth production. Proof? Interest rates determine the future profitability of land price speculation and, surprise, they're investors' main concern. This is neo-feudalism, not a free market.

This is a great way to show why a Land Value Tax is better than a property tax

If we raised the property tax bill on the blue lot to match the others on a $/SF basis, the overall tax bill for the houses/businesses would go down. People who want to see lower property taxes should be all over this!

Okay there's a fine line with data centers that Georgism once again carefully and successfully walks. Slopulism just paints data centers as terminator factories that squish sweet little rabbit families in a meadow. We just need to tax data centers. Tax their resource usage.

The custom of owning land and making your fellow human pay for its use can never be construed as productive work. It's lazy ass rent seeking.

And lack of Georgism and land value tax. Imagine if Henry George was our economic prophet instead of idolizing robber baron monopolists.

Cancel culture is interesting, because what is the point? If it is deterrence, what exactly are you trying to deter, the existence of a thought or the audacity of saying it out loud? If the goal is to make people hide what they think, how is that any better? You do not know these people. You will never meet them. Yet you demand a switch flipped so their income evaporates because of something they said online. All it does is create a black market of thought where people lie in public, harden in private, and learn the only safe move is performance. If your aim is persuasion, public shaming fails the basic test of changing minds. If your aim is protection, there are better tools. Block, mute, walk away, build better rooms, fund better art, out-create what you despise. What does telling the boss of a stranger accomplish that a rebuttal could not? What policy improved? Which habit of mind got stronger? The only result is people writing less honestly, thinking less clearly, and managing their friendships like bureaucrats, always listening for the next rule. That is a terrible trade.

Getting people to celebrate doxxing over speech is how you train a culture to accept the surveillance state. If you cheer invasions of privacy when it suits your tribe, don’t be surprised when a state scale social credit score become normalized...

Indeed. The idea is about redefining the role of land and other common property in society. Common property being that which no man created, like the land, the resources in the earth, the oceans and rivers, and the air we breathe. No man can truly claim ownership of these

"decommodify housing" means you don't own your house. Georgism means you own your house just not the profit of owning a land plot/location. Marxism does not allow workers to own housing or else that makes the housing a commodity.

If you put your phone down and go into the community and talk to strangers, you see people get along 99% of the time. We need to be social again. Don't fall for the lie that we're 2 distinct factions at war. You're not so different from your liberal or conservative neighbor.

Saying that some number of gun deaths are an unfortunate cost of the Second Amendment, but that the tradeoff is worth it, is epistemically virtuous. More people should be willing to explicitly acknowledge tradeoffs & defend their views honestly in light of them.

The "left" did not assassinate Charlie Kirk. The "right" did not assassinate Melissa Hortman and her husband. An individual did. Anyone claiming collective guilt is trying to manipulate you.
