   Capital has a tendency to accumulate, and in fact, to survive in capitalism is to accumulate capital
What's wrong with that ? That's a good thing. Gathering human and physical capital, saving and investing are the mechanisms that enabled us humans to make such tremendous progress.

   To be forced to pay rent is not dissimilar to be forced to be paid taxes
I think the rules of the game are generally fair, but the initial conditions inherited from history are not. But I understand what you mean if you don't believe the rules are "fair" and if you believe there's an alternative to our "capitalist system".

  The idea is not to transfer property into the ownership of all, it is to abolish it entirely.
I read a lot of left leaning authors years ago before discovering french XIX th century liberalism (including Max Stirner most famous text). I never found anything remotely concerned about the course of actions society should engage to abolish private property. Seriously, I've been searching for years. I'm open to any text if you have some.
