Why is a nation-state any less farcical to you than private land ownership? Its even more abstract and far removed from material reality.

It's chosen and controlled by the citizens. Private land ownership is chosen and controlled by the owner.

I support the latter, and protection of their rights, but the former certainly has more legitimacy.

Is a nation state necessarily chosen and controlled by citizens? Individual property rights predate nation states by thousands of years.
