No, but good luck trying to burn some piece of forest to get your piece of earth for your farm. You cannot justify the existing order with basic human needs. In some places you even have to pay for access to water.

Not really Georgist - just an acknowledgment of the basic authoritarian nature of capitalism

"biological need" is a strange way to describe being violently attacked in your place of shelter for working insufficient hours for the capitalist class
