It doesnt really make sense from a moral or economic perspective to have it be owned it's purely about tradition and the implicit threat of violence.

A tradition that arbitrarily prints free money for some and arbitrarily imbues economic burden on others.

The electromagnetic spectrum is sort of like land from an economic perspective except it "appeared" only recently. Nobody owns that or puts a price on it. Everybody purchases a limited lease from the government via auction. This was, in a sense, a frontier.

The Duke of Westminster didnt inherit electromagnetic spectrum from his ancestors coz they won a war in 1066.

Georgism isn't different. It relies on an implicit threat of force, too, since it's all about property taxes. Not paying your property tax (which some people might not be able to afford in places where it goes up a lot) would likely have similar effects as eviction or foreclosure. Otherwise, why pay the tax?
