tunk, your reasoning is correct. I argue that there is no ability to avoid some kind of Socialism with homesteading. See this post: https://forum.freecapitalists.org/t/socialism-of-homesteading/21917
“In a free market society no one cares how you use your property. But with regards to homesteading soddenly this becomes an issue, because an unhomesteaded property is like public property, it is limited and has potentially many claimants. That’s why there is a sort of socialism when it comes to the allocated of unhomesteaded resource.”
