If you think about it, it is completely absurd, why anyone assumes the right to 'own' a piece of land. Or even more land than the other guy. Someone must have been the person to first come up with the idea of ownership, but it is and was never based on anything other than an idea, and we should question it.

After all inheritance of landownership is a major cornerstone of our unjust and exploitative society.

It goes back to when good agricultural land discovered to be so ridiculously effective at feeding people.

Not the beginning of wealth, but certainly one of the oldest still used store of wealth.

So much has been fucked up by discovering agriculture, it was also the beginning of institutional slavery.

You're not wrong but surely you don't mean to say that mankind should never have discovered agriculture, right? At that point we may as well say that gaining sentience fucked everything up because it was the beginning of wilfully hurting others despite having the capacity for empathy (aka doing evil things).
