Imagine if all the property in the USA became "public" property which must be handed over in one month and redistributed. How many people would get that needed oil change for the car?

Private lands are always more polluted. Always. Private businesses cannot be trusted with the environment. Stop being so damn naive. You didn't even address my other countless other examples.
would you rather buy a used car from the original owner or a rental?

Your arguments are incredibly naive. Private businesses have been responsible for some of the worst environmental catastrophes, and you are telling me I should just trust them?
This is why I will never fall for that libertarian propaganda. Corporatism in sheep's clothing.
Costa Rica took over huge parts of its country and set it for ecotourism only. Away from private hands that would turn the land into a big stupid expensive resort.
Private businesses don't give a crap about environment. Their bottom line is money and exploiting that land to an extreme.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Edit: by rental I assume you mean leasing otherwise I'll run awayWith or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
