If we are to abolish intellectual property, we might as well abolish all property (including land, patents and money as well

That's a bit messy.

Patents are IP, with the caveat that they usually protect corporation over inventors.

Money is a medium for measuring transactions. Hoarding it is very much like having people owing you a service.

Land is more complex and needs for a society to clarify "property" first : property because of use or property in a more abstract way allowing others to use it for your benefit. This also implies a split between single-person usage (t'is my plot for I toil it for my family) and a more common use (10 persons toil the field which provides enough for 20).
