Re:Winning a London Garden Allotment by lmm on Monday August 01, 2022 @08:33PM (#32313887)
Again, allotment holding is distinctly not property ownership. So it's strange to hold this up as an example of property ownership causing oppression when it's the opposite (unless you consider e.g. a feudal lord's position as being "property ownership", which it really wasn't). The point of the claim that property rights create freedom is that a model in which even the poor get to own land outright is far better than the model of sharecroppers/tenant farmers/serfs.
