There’s no magic involved, the comic assumes a lot of things and you chose to assume the wrong ones for it to make sense.
It contraposes the rational modeling of modern economists to its illogical effects.
The alien assumes a property cannot be owned because it in fact can not be owned. You can say you own the statue of liberty but if there’s no consensus you will have no particoular agency toward it. This applies to trees themselves even if there are tree growing trees.
the workers obey “pieces” of paper because that’s what society decided is civilized behavior.
That’s the point.
The alternative is one where a factory owner decides to kill people for trying to take what’s theirs, or the workers decide to kill the factory owner to take over. Either way, there is violence and bloodshed.
Congratulation, you do get the comic. That’s what the aliens are saying, why don’t the many worker take the place from the single owner.
Then you go on bringing forward your personal opinion about “obvious facts of life” which are old, trite, wrong and unworthy of my time.

Why? If someone pays for the resources to build it, then who owns it? If the labor could build it to begin with, then why didn’t it? Then labor could be the owner. But if labor relies on resources to build mechanisms of productivity, then it’s fair to say that those who build the mechanisms are justly due some compensation for their input.
We already tried armed conflict over resources, the pieces of paper were what we decided was a better alternative.

What part of “nobody can’t own anything” aren’t you getting?
You are making up a bunch of your own rules and patting yourself on the back. That has nothing to do with the comic.
The state owns it in a Marxist society. Or are you saying that a group of farmers in China can go tell the PRC what to do
I’m sorry I’m not engaging until you get what “nobody can’t own anything” means.
