I read up on it, but I'm not sure how that's immune to greed. Are you able to explain?
There's a limit on how much stuff you can "own" and actually use. If you don't use it, you don't own it anymore.
So... reading the Wikipedia article on it for more info, it doesn't seem to place any limits on what you can own. It simply lets you makes allowances for others to use something of yours. It doesn't seem to mention forfeiting unused property in the least.
It's basically just being a landlord, but with other stuff, no? I'm not following how this isn't corruptible unless there's something I'm missing.
This paragraph is vital:
This means that most things aren't owned by one person (legal or natural).
Being a landlord is based on the third property relation:
Abusus isn't only about destroying, but also about keeping something from being used (A landlord can keep me from living in their house, unless I pay them).
If you don't have the abusus right, you simply can't keep others from using things. Which is why most property would be held in common. Think of it like a big library for everything. Not only books, but bikes, pots and pans, tools, furniture and accomodations.
This podcast is how I know of the concept
Grabbed the podcast! More detail never hurts. Much appreciated.
