You still have property rights; you're merely acknowledging legitimacy to your claims. Most property throughout history has been acquired through theft and plunder.
People who own land are at an advantage to those who don't, and unlike one's labor, earth is not an inherit feature of one's ability or person. Land value should be assessed and then turned over into a flat tax. The revenue from this money should go directly towards every individual; the only people who are at any "advantage" don't own land - but as I said, that's already a disadvantage so it negates any differences.
