The alternative to private ownership is that the land is democratically owned and thus its owners are obligated to treat it with public interests in mind.

Obligated how? By what mechanisms do you propose that those in the state be compelled to do this, since they have control of all the resources?

[ QUOTE ]
State ownership is the lesser of the two evils assuming these are the only 2 alternatives (there are more).

Please show this. I provided a simple explanation for how state ownership and private ownership is largely indistinguishable, with the exception that state owners have no incentive beyond the political to preserve the capital value of the resource. Please show how this is mistaken.
