The Community Delusion

There is justice as well as bluntness in Benjamin Tucker's criticism:

"What gives value to land?" asks Rev. Hugh O. Pentecost. And he answers: "The presence of population -- the community. Then rent, or the value of land, morally belongs to the community." What gives value to Mr. Pentecost's preaching?The presence of population -- the community. Then Mr. Pentecost's salary, or the value of his preaching, morally belongs to the community.
