Well what should those lands then be called? They aren’t Nevada, then. Somebody tell the map makers please!

I think some people are getting the US Constitution and the USSR Constitution mixed up again.

Socialist property in the U.S.S.R. exists either in the form of state property (the possession of the whole people), or in the form of cooperative and collective-farm property (property of a collective farm or property of a cooperative association).
— Article 5, 1936 “Stalin Constitution”

State property, i. e. the common property of the Soviet people, is the principal form of socialist property. The land, its minerals, waters, and forests are the exclusive property of the state. The state owns the basic means of production in industry, construction, and agriculture; means of transport and communication; the banks; the property of state-run trade organisations and public utilities, and other state-run undertakings; most urban housing; and other property necessary for state purposes.
— Article 11, 1977 “Brezhnev Constitution”

That is what the defenders of the BLM on here are justifying and acceding to, essentially.

The federal government owns property within all 50 states (far more out west than in the original 13 states, but it owns some everywhere).
