Geolibertarianism is a libertarian political philosophy that holds, like other forms of libertarian individualism, that each individual has an exclusive right to the fruits of his or her labor, as opposed to this product being owned collectively by society or the community. In other words, geolibertarians support private property. However, unlike royalist forms of libertarianism, geolibertarianism holds that all land is owned in common by society and may not become private property. Therefore, if individuals claim the land as their property they must pay rent to the community for doing so. They hold that private property is the product of labor, and since land itself was not created by human labor, it cannot rightfully be considered the property of any individual. Geolibertarians generally advocate distributing the land rent to the community via a single land value tax.
