It is often assumed that all land is real estate. But estate refers to qualified ownership, and not absolute ownership. Land is one thing, an estate in land is another. Estate is an interest in property that is less than absolute title. Since absolute ownership is a right, not a privilege, no American government has the delegated power to tax private property. All constitutional delegations of taxing authority are limited to real and personal property (i.e., estate).

''In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.''
''Communist manifesto''
[[Communism]] and its cousin Socialism, abolish absolute ownership of land, houses, tools, and chattels by private individuals. In its place, qualified ownership of all things by the Collective is instituted. Thus no one can own themselves, their labor, the fruits of that labor, nor even the children they beget.
Collectivists are more akin to pirates, stealing private property from the rightful owners, while ascribing a moral superiority to their thievery. Since moral religions denounce thievery, it's not surprising that Collectivists abhor religion.
