Land Matters and Co-operative Socialism

 Land Matters:

First, I am no fan of LVT: it ends up 'sweating the assets' and, so, ruining the Land's fertility.

The Co-operative Socialist alternative is Co-operative Careship (roughly, 'A Fully Repairing Lease, Plus Remediation'.

As to taxation or expropriation: neither.

The solution is to abolish the 'Ownership' (Ie Theft) if Economic Resources and introduce that concept of Co-operative Careship, time-limited, non-transferable, renewable only by Community Agreement, subject to demonstrable Co-operative Care, through submission if suitable Annual Co-operative Audits.

And rent-free.

Due to not-sweating-the-assets point, above.
