The 1/10 is pretty much what could reasonably be taxed from a simpler medieval farmer without them starving.
Also today we do have systems like social security. There are also quite a few things very similar to commons. Roads, parks, public land and so forth come to mind. I am pretty sure, if you created something like common land for farming most everybody would not use it. At least judging by the number of gardens trying to grow food.
Interesting, in Australia we have community gardens in most areas and I have never seen any of them empty. Of course that being said, they aren't the sizes of industrial farms but are more intended for producing produce by hand labour
Where I live people can not even be bothered to pick apples from the apple trees on the site of the road, which are planted by the city so anybody can just do that.
So rather I am rathet amazed that most Australians seem to actually grow at least some of their own food.
Really? I know the location of around 10-15 apple trees around my area now and you pretty much never see any apples within arms reach, beyond that there are loads. Its clear that they are being picked.
Plums and sloes don't seem to be so popular and I think blackberries are so abundant that even though people are picking them there are more to go round than there is demand for them.
