Hi Alex. Appreciate the insight, and thoughtfulness you've brought to these topics. There is definitely a big conflict in ideas of land justice Vs ownership. Ownership in principle can't be anything other than capitalist. With that in mind, my question is, is it possible for this kind of revolution to occur any way other than through force?
Thanks Dan for reading and the comment. I guess force can be conceived in multiple ways. So no I think force is necessary - though what form that takes I think is highly specific context-dependent. I think in the UK there is the potential of the council farm which would be a more straightforward path towards growing a non-private form of relating to land. I recently learned about a land occupation in Italy where the "force" was establishing links with the local community, which prevented the state from clearing them. In a colonial context perhaps these examples don't work. In the US though, for example, how is land back achieved?
