All land is already owned by people or governments already, how would other people be given land?
Yes what synopsis said.
The majority of land is owned by insanely wealthy families. The vast majority of this land is not being worked on. For the minority of the land that is being worked on, it is farmed very unsustainably. Obviously, this is bad for the earth -- and in most cases, it locks the population in poverty.
If we look at the global south, and in particular Latin America, we see Latifundios, which are FOREIGN OWNED estates.
Before capitalist colonialism, the indigenous communities worked and lived on the land. The land seizure by Western Europeans took away the way of life for billions of people, and proleteriatized the society by taking away the ownership of everything (the tools to produce and the land to produce and what they produce). This is how we become wage workers and renters. This traps billions of people into poverty.
Do you think the Aztecs and the Mayans were in poverty before? No. That land is INCREDIBLY fertile. They had entire civilizations where the majority wasn't kept in poverty. Even before the Mayans, too. This shows how it is western colonialism which wrecked South America.
Part of socialism and communism is Land reform. Indigenous communities can go back to their way of life. Poverty will decrease as people will own the tools, land and WHAT they produce. Profits will go to the PEOPLE not to the mega rich.
Look at Cuba; they were originally a sugar colony which only exported sugar. They had to import all of their food. Their economy was completely dependent on these imports. They instituted land reform and kicked out the capitalists who were exploiting them for their sugar. They instituted a hydroponico program (look it up - its amazing) and they were able to become self sufficient.
We have also seen the success of land reform in the Chinese Revolution. Between 1952 and 1978 China was able to double crop yields lee unit of arable land through the collectivization of agriculture. China has 9% of the fertile land but they had 22% of the population -- an INCREDIBLE feat for such a feudal country.

isn't georgism basically just f*** landlords or is there more to it ?

Well yes, but also there is a whole economic theory behind it
It posits land is shared by all humanity and while we accept private property, getting rent solely for owning land is profoundly immoral and doesnt advance humanity, so a land value tax returns humanities collective right to them
I could elaborate more but I'm a bit drunk
Authoritarians are scum and the guy tweeting is a clown.
"Being condemned to win is a beautiful condemnation. We were born to win.
This is already a great reality.
They can crush us into a thousand pieces, but they cannot break our Communist morale.
We are willing to die.
Our class morale is at stake. We have to defend it, and we will do it with blood, pain and tears.
There can’t be any other way. This is the only way to break them into a thousand pieces and we won’t do it without going through a great storm."
s*** crazy

Domestic violent extremists are US-based actors who conduct or threaten activities that are dangerous to human life in violation of the criminal laws of the United States or any state;
If they are a danger to human life and/or in violation of criminal laws, and are so in an attempt to promote an extreme ideology, then they are DVEs, whether you like it or not, and whether you agree with the ideology they profess, and whether the US government states this or not.
As the document states, domestic extremists are protected by the constitution as long as they don't commit violent crime. Once they commit violent crime, they transition from Domestic Extremists to Domestic Violent Extremists.
This all seems perfectly reasonable to me. If I was an anarchist, I would still see this as perfectly reasonable. Threatening human life during an act of extremism is terrorism.
