If property doesn't exist, you can't go on vacation though.
When you leave your house, someone else can just come in and take it for himself.
You couldn't even go for a walk. The moment you leave the house you stop "possessing" it.
We're getting dangerously close to "under Communism, you will share a toothbrush"
We'll. Since I'm uneducated, you could try explaining why I'm wrong instead of making fun of me.
It is absolutely possible to go on vacation without oppressing or exploiting others. It happens all the time. You can avoid Airbnbs and stay in a hotel, camp, sleep in a car, or just stay home.
I really don't understand how you came to the conclusion that you cease possession of something the moment you end physical contact with it. You're gonna have to walk me through that one if you want to actually argue that point.
If there's no state to protect your possession, you are the one responsible for protecting it. The moment you lose physical contact, you cannot protect it. Unless you put traps all over your house to deter an invader.
I don't see how in a stateless society you could go on vacation without the fear of your home being "stolen" when you return.
That's where community and mutual aid come in. You have neighbors who also would like to not lose their homes either so they would protect yours like you would protect theirs. The importance and strength of community rises as the power of the state diminishes.
That sounds like such a stressful life. Having to constantly police not only your property but your neighbours property.
And that just won't work when the aggressor is mightier than your local community, which doesn't sound hard at all. Or if your neighborhood is more friendly towards your aggressor than towards you. Which would also end up in constant drama.
I don't like your solution at all.
