Universal principles, human rights, and land ownership
We should be careful when trying to derive universal principles. We are all descendants of thieves, migrants, and murderers and if you try to argue universal rights across generations, then you should be the first to give up your current possessions. If you think your family was on the right side of history, then please remember that, going back /n/ generations, you have 2**/n/ ancestors.
In the list of human rights, ownership is pretty far down the list. There is a good reason for that, because one person's possessions can curtail another's freedom, and dignity. Ownership of something, such as land, is bestowed upon us as part of a social contract. You get to call that land your own as long as the wider society agrees upon it. And if you go back a few generations, you will invariably find that the land was stolen from somebody else. From the clergy during the French revolution. From the natives when the colonialists arrived (going back to the Roman times)....
We should be grateful to our neighbors, if they agree to live in a peaceful society with us. And we should not pretend that there are any fundamental, inherited rights that elevate us above our neighbors, Otherwise, how do you explain to your US American kids that you stopped paying taxes to your God-anointed king George III? He inherited his throne fair and square.
