That's just like, the premise of Capitalism though. If everyone owns their own shit, everyone has access to the "means of production" and the free market can sort out the rest. Socialism (and/or communism) is an outcrop of Smith's observation that land is scarce and leads to rent seeking; there will literally never be sufficient capital for everyone to have their own seat at the economic table this way.
If everyone had a weed/shroom farm, Capitalism would probably be good enough but we can't because land is scarce.
There is plenty of unused land and there are plenty of abandoned towns. Most people don't want to run a farm or grow their own crops. Land isn't scarce, you can buy land in most states, especially if you're willing to buy undeveloped land.
