The lords turned capitalists exploiting the skeletons of feudalism needed more land for more industry, along with more labor and energy. What had been
historically held in common
was now closed to the public, further solidifying CLASS-CONSCIOUSNESS:
Why do we remain poor generation after generation? Why should we give up another river or even stream to power
the greed of the few?
And now our air. And now my child. Doesn’t nature belong to all? Don’t children belong to their parents? Shouldn’t progress benefit the common good?
Our earth could be held in common for the enjoyment of all if we just stopped abusing it. Abusing each other. Abusing ourselves really, if you look at the bigger picture. Why do we keep allowing
fractured identities
to become so reliant on these hateful excuses that only justify the assholery of an elite?
The “oppressed class” saw cooperation as the key to survival with the earth being held in common trust for the species.
But then their oppressors claimed that might makes right and only the strong should survive, the logic of
self-justified habits
and intellectual infants who defend so many hands in the global cookie jar.
