Intent and effect / The monopoly on public space

Leslie,

Govt-expropriated property does not belong to the Govt.

It belongs to whomever uses (homesteads) it, whether you call them "the
Occupy movement," "libertarians," or "Les Mangus."

Study libertarian homesteading theory for details:

Warm regards, Michael

Unfortunately, we (LPSF or you and me) are not dealing with libertarian homestead theory.

Marcy

Yes, that is unfortunate. But no time like the present to start educating people.

Mike

May I point out that the Occupiers are generally not on "unowned" or "expropriated" land? Most are in public parks, bought and maintained with tax money, and controlled by elected officials. Nobody has any right to "homestead" a city park. If the land is not being well-used, the city should sell it to pay off some of the public debt.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. At last....another libertarian who agrees
somewhat with me. Although I think you meant "unexpropriated" land.
