Nothing wrong with national flags and symbols and national feelings in general. They are essential aspects of human society and diversity.
They are not necessarily essential. They may add meaning to some peoples lives. They certainly are aspects of our lives but they need not exist at all. They are a human construct to say this is mine and you are on my side of the line. The world was not made with flags attached. They were put there by humanity. These separate ideologies, prosperity, and cultures.
The idea of the ownership of land is artificial as no one sold the land to the first humans. They claimed it as they went along and broke it into sections and subsections for their own needs. Then claimed them as their right. The first owners did not buy anything. They put a fence up and said this is mine keep out.
Your statement implies that you do not believe in individual ownership. If that is true, how would you suggest all human commerce and other interaction be conducted?
I am not for private land ownership. But this is the way it is. As is the habit in the systems that we have buildings were built out of need. Invention has come from need. There is no reason that these things would not still exist. The difference is that the ownership of said concern would be all.
I live in a community and within the community whatever is done benefits all. My work efforts do not solely meet my needs but the needs of others. We purchase for the community as we need and use whatever we have for our own needs. I have a home and the things I enjoy in my home. I do not personally own a car. The community owns the cars. They also own the home. My income goes into the community and covers the needs of those that may need more than they make. None of us in in a case of hardship.
To change the world into such a system would take many years of planning and mind changing and I am not up for that.
A business would be owned by the employees. The land would be leased to said industry by the community at large. The owner and designer of the products would earn a lager share then those in other positions but not to the degree of disparity that exists in the business world these days.
