>The property is purchased from a previous owner: that's the source of the rightful ownership of the mine by the current owner
Dude imagine if we like put that on le blockchain

>You're also only focused on the benefits of ownership, and seemingly ignoring the liabilities
>Is it the workers, or the legal owner?
That's why limited liability exists, you can own a portion of a business and not be held fully liable for any of the costs. Only commies want to get rid of limited liability because they're retards

>No one would take the big risks if the payoff is capped at a reasonable amount.
It depends what you mean. People obviously do risky things all the time because they're retards and don't have normal impulse controls. Progressive taxation where in other places it doesn't... that's a sliding scale towards a "cap". You can wonder why Japanese CEO's aren't emigrating to America more since they're pay is basically "capped" there relative to what they could be making running American companies, etc, etc. There's a lot of "sociological" factors involved. The bigger point is owners don't run companies generally, maybe AI can cause some competition there and god knows what that means lol

Where do you think that $60k initially came from? Every dollar is a pure fiat liability spent into existence by the US government. It has no "real" value. If I could issue IOUs and force you to pay me taxes in it I'd be comfortable doing all kinds of strange things but I can't for better or worse.

>Why should it? You're being very unclear and disingenuous about what you want to argue for. You're asking theoretical questions while attempting to argue for (apparently) the real world implementation of communism by the forced seizure of assets (eg, bolshevism).
I said the argument you'll get is the tragedy of the commons. That's used to justify the seizure of public assets and privatization of everything on the globe. Any system of private property requires seizing assets or liability doesn't exists and no one ever "owes" anyone anything. Courts can take everything from you for perhaps contentious reasons. Nowhere did I advocate "communism", I'm saying welfare economics is more important than "morality", brush up on it and the critics

You're telling me it was all a freakin' metaphor? a simile? a heckin' stretched out turn of phrase? one big bait and switch? the carrot was a rabbit in the end?

>"lol" is correct. Also, if you're not LARPing a guy I know was friends with that Aussie who was arrested in NK. The guy was a total ideologue and loved NK--he went around China with the NK students wearing the standard uniform and his Kim Dynasty pin. Long story short he got a brutal wakeup call that could have ended far worse for him. Read The Aquariums of Pyongyang.

>No he didn't lolllll

>Try reading, tard.
The only way you could still believe in depression as a "mental illness" is if you haven't read anything but schlock, reddit comments, and youtube captions.

>OMG look at this incredibly hot and athletic blonde 12 year old boy who read the entire western canon by age 9, who publishes high grade analytic philosophy on his blogspot page, who is fluent in 12 different languages and has published several award winning novels
