no, they don’t forget, they just pretend that it’s completely natural.
they insist that private property is natural, and so the proletariat is natural, as if people are born into a state of abject poverty rather than poverty being imposed upon them.
forgetting that before enclosure most people had a right to access and use productive land for subsistence.
As someone that has been learning how to grow food, I find the idea of common land very interesting. However I do wonder how farmers that were using common land would update agriculture practices.
Like let’s say someone wanted to dig swales and direct water into a pond so more diverse plants could be grown on some land, would there need to be a big debate about it? If so then with who? If the land is not owned then who forms a consensus about it’s use. If the users of the land are the ones that help make those decisions, wouldn’t they naturally form some type of farm user association to schedule and hold these debates? Would at some point it become harder for new land users to change land use practices after such an association is established with seniority?
Are there any books on there s subject for someone like me to read?
In midieval times there was a LOT of meetings, contracts etc between essentially city council members to settle very similar issues in regards to use of the commons.
