Humans aren’t legitimate property. Land and homes are.
humans were legitimate property, though, weren't they? if that hadn't been challenged then it would still be as it was. the same goes for land and homes when that land and those homes evidently belong to the people.
The evil of hereditary succession is more pressing a concern than its absurdity—the practice lends itself to oppression. Men who consider themselves born monarchs easily grow insolent and become disconnected from the interests of ordinary people. This actually renders them dangerously ignorant and unfit to rule
it's common sense, afterall. see the tory party and current political , etonian, class for more proof.
also, what makes land a legitimate property? only the custom which prevails in any given day. land is the property of the people who live on it, the entire people, not just a few. because i'm not in favour of massive land barons retaining their portfolios either, or of a few billionaires owning more than 50% of an entire country.
