Not at all. Before the widespread availability of currency, taxes were always paid in property. Farmers paid with bushels of wheat or turnips or whatever.
Those are goods.
Shares are also not property, in the real sense.
They are fractional ownership.
Potato property. A property is whatever you own. Do you or do you not own the contents of your fridge?
I assume by "real" you mean "land". Who cares?
So you acknowledge that shares are property then.
