There are good reasons we have government, not the least of which it protects us from the rule of the emotionally frenzied mob, and the conspiratorial actions of powerful, privileged elites. While laws oppress us, they also protect. I know it's a bargain with the devil, but what else can we do? Not that it matters much at this point; it appears as a species we are doomed, or at least our civilization is, thanks to the destruction of our habitat it's brought about.

Some predatory usurpers, like communist's for example, stole the land by force, but much of the land has historically been "fretted away" due to lack of moral fiber on the part of the loosing party. every village knows people who lost their land in gambling, for example.

As US citizens we probably need to take some of the property and rights back before we become too poor to do anything about it but leave. There is really o better place to go, even if we could afford to. Best we run the robbers out of government, seal our borders and quit the efforts for global free trade.

Stop using -isms to sound more legitimate and start using actual reasoning. Are we to go back and double check that the exploited persons ancestors had not aquired it through means you disapprove of. Every time I hear justice and history in the same paragraph what follows is invariably a garbled mess of attributed martyrdom to the oppressed and demonization of anyone who was not poor. Its naiive.
