+
+so a few weeks back i heard of this term "collective land ownership" and i
+think y'all might be interested in how it's different from or similar to law
+wherever you are
+
+## LAW
+
+in vietnamese civil law, land (along with water, sea, sky, and other natural
+resources) is a property collectively owned by the people (Article 197, Civil
+Law 2015)
+
+because if *everyone* collectively uses that however they want, as they can
+with personal properties, it would be messy and chaotic, the law also states
+that the State is the one and only representative owner and can exercises
+ownership on these properties. (Article 198, Civil Law 2015)
+
+ok so how do you get some land to build houses or grow a farm? the State will
+assign the *permission to use* to the users of the land (Article 4, Land on Law
+2013).  this permission to use can be revoked at any time for various reasons,
+one of which is "to improve economy and society for the national and public
+benefits" (Article 16, Land on Law 2013). to my understanding, this means the
+State can take your land, where you are living, to build a road or a factory or
+a farm, because that is "public benefits", or even [golf courts][golf], because
+it "improves economy". you will be compensated for that or assigned another
+piece of land (relocation), though (Clause 3, Article 26, Land on Law 2013) but
+in reality it's not always that smooth
+
+[golf]: https://vietnamnet.vn/vuong-san-golf-dan-bo-hoang-ruong-vuon-36343.html
+
+"this is putting too much power to the state", you're probably thinking, and i
+would agree. i sure hope they don't abuse that power.
+

+
+## HISTORY
+
+in the 1950s, the vietnamese communist party (VCP) did a radical land reform,
+taking land from landlords and assign it to the people. it is probably one of
+the biggest part of the communist revolution. finally gaining ~~ownership~~^W
+permission to use a piece of land of their own, people were happy, especially
+farmers, who had worked like slave for landlords at insignificant wage.
+however, many of them ended up selling back lands to landlords because they're
+not hard-working enough (?) (according to some old people who witnessed this
+era)
+
+nowadays, it may be better than before land reform, we still have people who
+don't own any land, and corporations and conglomerates that own a lot of land.
+there are landlords (but we don't call them landlords) whose main income is
+monthly rent, and there are workers who work on pieces of land where they do
+not ~~own~~^W have permission to use
+

+
+note that i am not a lawyer so the legal terms as well as the deduction might
+be inaccurate. this post is not an opposition to VCP or a suggestion to change
+the law
