@Oryangatan - your confusion is easily resolved if you understand the Zen-like saying "Property is theft".
Ownership only exists through violence of denying everybody else the right to use that thing. Like these bears coming to wreck a perfectly good restaurant.

Gotcha. You're an armchair communist who either hasn't realized or refuses to accept the fact that communism will never work because people suck.
Edit: Communism is a fantastic idea, but trying to introduce it to the real world is not.
So the whole incredibly convoluted backstory was just an excuse to have...yet another boring OP protagonist who hides his power type story. And we kick it off with the most boring cliches of all.
