@HeavenlyPossum @neonsnake Yeah, they act like the Roman or modern Blackstonian concept of "private property" as an alienable commodity, or "absolute despotic dominion," is some kind of eternal category -- and then try to retroactively impose it on all kinds of collective, communal, possessory-usufeructory, and other non-propertarian forms of land governance throughout history.
So the people who try to recuperate Locke by saying the "property" is only legit if it's homesteaded by actual labor, or should be limited by the Proviso, or even flat-out argue for possessive "property" have their hearts in the right place -- but attempting to redefine everything from the past in terms of the "property" paradigm is still anachronistic and counter-productive.
