Which country allows this? All "land-owners" pay land taxes, and if you stop paying "your" land will be confiscated.
> just because his great granddad came to an empty country and got land basically for free which now make his grandchildren millionaire landlords even though they didn't contribute to society in any way to earn what they have
And now we're back to the argument "to each according to his need". Until/unless you are willing to ruthlessly enforce that nobody gets anything unless they, personally, earn it, there will be large numbers of people who will have stuff that they did not earn.
Arguments along the lines of "to each according to his need" are broken, almost by design.
> We need a new system that resets the monopoly board fairly instead of waiting for social uprisings to boil due to increased wealth inequality.
IIRC, the last time I checked, the countries with the least wealth inequality were those with the strongest private ownership laws.
If it's wealth inequality you're targetting, then strong economies help. Countries with restrictions on ownership mostly, with some outliers, fare poorly on wealth inequality.
