Thank you for this contribution, John. Well thought out. I certainly relate to the experience you describe from 1968! There is definitely a sea change regarding the conduct of Israel, and moral outrage has galvanized countless numbers of student and supporters to denounce that literally atrocious behavior, AND official US support for it.

If the land occupied by each existing house were taxed in the same proportion to its value, which must vary considerably, there would be a tendency for those in wealthy areas where the land is costly to pay the most. Since not everybody has the same needs not tallent, this change in the law would eventually sort out those whose earning power was not up to what their property is worth. People are not equal and socialism does not work fairly, because the greed of the leadership soon overbalances the ideal for equal shares of consumer goods and industrial shares and in homes, too. But when we are all allowed to have equal opportunities to own property by the introduction of this ethical tax method (originally proposed by Henry George in 1879 in his classic book "Progress and Poverty"), anybody whose land ownership is stopping others from having the same thing too, would want to sell off unused sites instead of speculating in their rising values.

David, You say here "People are not equal and socialism does not work fairly, because the greed of the leadership soon overbalances the ideal for equal shares of consumer goods and industrial shares and in homes, too. " But there is no inevitability in this happening. With appropriate and effective checks and balances it can be precluded. We need to evolve a kind of socialism that does this and even more importantly, is regarded by the population as large as fair and acceptable. The change in taxation you propose is but a tiny brick in the wall against corporate rule.

Yes David, this addresses the land problem and thus the affordable housing issue. With a tax shift like this labor and productive capacities have the tax burden lifted while public finance is derived from the nature and socially created land and natural resource values. Purchasing capacity is increased for workers while land hoarding and speculation are removed, thus fair market forces enable supply and demand sides to meet for affordable housing.

Geeze O Pete - I may not be 200yrs old, yet there are times, I certainly feel every bit of it!

Hoping the resolve is not far off or off putting, to my delicate senses. As I'd prefer we head back in time, to where there was a more carefree, peacefulness. Don't ask, just be positive - Wait for it...

...in due time, we shall inherit the project blue ball!

The ruling class needs to feel PAIN and to be overthrown, BIG TIME!

Divide and rule! Agents provocateurs anyone, FALSE FLAGS, propaganda social engineering psyops? Keeping us proles at each others' throats while the globalist technocrat predators laugh all the way to the BIS and The Bank of Rothschild's!

The horrifying senators, Governor 'Gruesome Newscum', 'Lone Scum', Soros, 'Benedict' Biden and Harris and even Trump, Vance, and 'Ramaswampy' et al are blatant fully owned and operated puppets of their globalist technocrat parasite masters same as other numerous 'PUBLIC SERPENTS' infesting by design from above, the bureaucratic apparatus.

Peddling pure poison! Folks have to wake up to reality: health comes from organic diet, daily exercise and clean living and never from a needle or a pill except in dire, rare traumatic injuries.

Can't say this often enough!

It was NEVER about health! The Powers That Should Not Be were ALWAYS about they want you DEAD or a SLAVE! This is a painful truth to accept but we the people must wake up and fight back! And toxic injections were/are a huge part of their arsenal!

KEEP FIGHTING! All the perps who pushed this greatest crime against humanity, all the way down to the local level, must get their comeuppances!

Proudly ANTI-VAXX! Reiterating for the sake of newbies and to support this post.

Ban all vaccine jabs! There has never been a 'safe and effective' vaccine since Edward Jenner's fraud over 200 years ago as per 'Dissolving Illusions' by Suzanne Humphries and 'Turtles All the Way Down' by Anonymous. Health can never come from a needle or pills, but from healthy eating, healthy exercise and healthy living! www.virustruth.net

JAB INJURIES: GROSS CALAMARI BLOOD CLOTS/AUTISM TSUNAMI/SADS/TURBO CANCER/BIZARRE TERMINAL ILLNESSES: More tragic victims of the ruling parasite genocidal enslavement agenda, sacrificed on the altar of psychopathic greed and hatred of humanity.

PSYCHOPATHS! MEGALOMANIACS!

The monsters in human skin suits who rule the world get a sadistic vampiric thrill and boost from perpetrating the vilest most demonic crimes against the most vulnerable (babies and small children) and then corrupting the system to get away with it scot free! We the People must stop them, there are a lot more of us than them!

BURN BACK BETTER!

CREATIVITY! ARTISTRY! IMAGINATION! SPIRITUALITY! HUMOR! LOVING KINDNESS! These are the best ways to fight THEM!

HELL NO TO STARGATE! HELL NO TO DEEPSEEK! HELL NO TO AI!

Life everywhere is being assaulted by THE TECHNOCRATIC OMNIWAR! RESIST! DO NOT CONSENT TO ALL THINGS DIGITAL, 'SMART', AI, 5G, NO CASH - ALL OF IT! dhughes.substack.com Technocrat ruling class psychos get a sadistic thrill from their powers over life and death and hurting all who stand in their way and they need the resources worldwide to build their digital total slavery control grids (herd survivors into 15 minute city digital prisons)!

AI is designed to be anti-human/anti-life programmed by technocrat control freak psychos - garbage in = garbage out. Everyone got along just fine without all these absurd and downright satanic electronic gadgets that did not exist until recently. NOBODY NEEDS THIS AI CRAP!

Bless and thank you for doing what you do.
