Exchange government for "people" and you have a more accurate depiction. The people own all the land, but they've developed a system whereby an individual can claim exclusive and very extensive use of a piece of land. The people agree to protect each other through violence to prevent other individuals taking that use away.

This is merely a social contract - there is no actual, absolute right to any piece of land. If pvn claims there is an absolute right, then this is purely his belief and has no basis in reality.

And it absolutely is a system of might makes right. The people who originally muscled their way in and protected it from being taken by others gained a historical claim, and their violence is being maintained by the social contract, government or no, which every newborn is violently forced to accept under any system.

Because he believes in socially constructed property rights? Nearly all schools of thought believe in property rights, son.
