Development of Property

The history of property, according to Anglo-Saxon theory, the idea of property is defined by a license given by the ones who hold authority in many case Monarchy own the land and was devolved to the vassals, but,  common land concept was kept and introduce in Roman Law, where certain areas was designated common area to be of animal grazing.
In the case of the British Island the Norman invasion in the 10th Century, by William the Conqueror, took the common land and used to reward loyalty, and for the first time the Saxon lord had to pay tax tribute. The consequence for almost 500 years the peasantry was in total subjugation, the difference between the Spanish and the British colonization of the Americas, while the Spanish colonization was under the Monarchy, the British the colonization was under private chapter in the Monarchy name.

The objective of British colonization was land and for Spain wealth, Portugal commerce. In the case of British was peasantry, for the right to passages to the colony was seven years of servitude, but in the end was the right of land (See Carson-Studies in Mutualist Political Economics, 2004-Aticopyrigth), in other words the colony serve is a releases pressure from political-economic unrest, and the British Monarchy maintains control of the new land and the loyalty of the Gentry.   

While under Christian and Islamic law there is protection to property law, the idea of property is right and acknowledgment of this right was codified under Napoleon Code. Property government’s role in protecting property depends upon an idea of right was express by as James Wilson, U.S. Supreme Court Justice and professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania, in 1790 and 1791, undertook a survey of the philosophical grounds of American property law. Wilson proceeds from two premises:

i.                    Every crime includes an injury: every injury includes a violation of a right, (Lectures, III, ii.)

ii.                   Wilson traces the history of property in his essay On the History of Property. In his lecture, Of the natural rights of individuals (Lectures II, xii), he articulates, whether man exists for the sake of government, or government for the sake of man – a distinction which may derive from, or lead to, the question of natural and absolute rights, and whether property is one of them. Wilson states: In his unrelated state, man has a natural right to his property, to his character, to liberty, and to safety. Wilson asks whether: the primary and principal object in the institution of government… was… to acquire new rights by human establishment? Or was it, by a human establishment, to acquire a new security for the possession or the recovery of those rights….

Wilson in On the History of Property, states: Property is the right or lawful power, which a person has to a thing.

Wilson divides the right into three degrees: possession, the lowest; possession and use; and, possession, use, and disposition – the highest.

Further:  

Man is intended for action. Useful and skillful industry is the soul of an active life. But industry should have her just reward. That reward is property, for of useful and active industry, property is the natural result.

From this simple reasoning he is able to present the conclusion that exclusive, as opposed to communal property, is to be preferred, while Wilson survey to accounts to Sparta misunderstand and underestimated the origin of property—force use—see, Derrida Lecture in Cardozo Law School about  Deconstruction and the Law-especially Pascal the origin of the la is force and mystique of the law is based in the force who control the authority to carry and enforce the will, assigned the right, not by consensus or right, by simple used of force to achieve the possessions or ownership.

Past and Future

Paris

Paris is not just the city of light,

But is the city of many souls.

The city of artist dreams and

inspirations of many dreams.

From the salons of Aristocrats and

The commune, the small village, who

become a district.

The canal St Martin, to the eleven district

where dreamers leave. To the bistros to

cafes, to the intellectuals who stop to ceases.

From the aroma of the spices of some many places

and some dreams.

But dark day, when the Antisemitism

who is part of Europe, was revived with the same

hate name of a God, or a Prophet.

Now in the Seine, not only carry the forgotten dreams, the pain

And the cry of 135 souls (and counted- to the many injure soul and body)

a city in dark where the symbols are in the dark.

And sadness because one dear to think, to draw, to enjoy the pleasure

of  meal, the taste of coffee, or to listen sound.

Or to buy a meal before the Sabbath, or come out from school

The angel of death waiting the little girls, and pick by the hair,

and took away.

Bur even the lights are dimming, and quite, sobs and whispers,

the day after, the sound of hope, joy of smell of the coffee

or simple walk—Paris  

A Golden Moment

Dreams

One Moment in the Fall

Hope

A Road Map

While, options exist, to wait for change or hope of any Utopia, is to wasted life. While the power of society or the state is upon each of us, because we let them in the hope we will have access to the tablet, time after time, the door is close if you do not belong or you are in the right place.

While, we accepted the intimidation in some hope, which will never come, but they are options, like transitions towns is not enough a more drastic actions, is not enough to disconnect, but change in yourselves, with others:

1)      First do not accepted the power of the state and society, consider:

2)      Property is a license given by the one in power, historically (Carson K A: Studies in Mutualist Political Economy, 2004) , invaded forces like case Norseman diminish or obliterated common land, and transfer to the new overlord, even old elite who never had to give tribute were obligated by the new overseers.  

3)      The power does not extend just to property, but peculated every aspect of life from access to education, access to home, educations and jobs.

What options for each case:

1)      Property, and privilege should be abolished and society should consider a used.

2)      Money should be abolish, the system cannot be fix, we have construct a system on access and privilege, now with technology, is possible a direct distribution.

3)      Production should be based on cooperatives, collectives and communes.

4)      Technology, Sciences are just tools to be better individuals and communities, while nature is finite, in this closed system we can developed to make everyone life—beater. Using micro-factories, free interconnectivity, group individuals can develop technology, like Linux. The Introduction of 3-D printed, will make the technology accessible to anyone, everywhere.

5)      Energy, so far has been model concentration, now using multiple approaches, Sun, Wind, Biomass, hydro, which can be created in local level.

6)      Housing should be based on the community need, now we have the option, for individual or community houses—co-housing and transition towns are great example to build upon.

7)      Science is collective project, and medicine is a social project, which required and need to demonstrate high skill, so far the system is base in exclusion.

8)      Everyone born with a talent, the problem the elites and society only let few to access to developed this talent and skills. Education using internet should be accessible to any one, the best one to evaluated not but  repeat a memorized  information in a test, but the best way to show, where we are force to create an explain, a honest peer review, were every assumptions is question. From the basic and advances should be based on individual and collective projects, where can create new ideas, experiment should be the drive, and able to communicated. Accreditation is power to access, accreditation is validation of some skill, not knowledge, any validation should be under individual groups, not under the state or elite groups, today the provost and president universities are just running a business happen to be higher education.

9)      Technology should be collective effort, the introduction of cell phones, tablets, and repeat stations (http://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2015/10/how-to-build-a-low-tech-internet.html).

10)  Transportation should be consider as public, using hyperloops, cars should be transform to electrical cars—not far future flying cars will used electrical cars. The world should not be close—the opposite areal travel, using new eco-technologies, biodiesel or other technologies, and space travel should be developed.   

11)  Agriculture considers combinations, of individuals (but individuals should not have the right to exploit or abuse, perhaps families and used technology should mitigated the need to higher), collectives (here everyone is part and want to be part) and should be included in the cities, with high automation and decentralize energy source, high rise agriculture, from community gardens.

12)  Medicine access should be community oriented; the training of skill should be based on community, but not limited advances. The advances should be encourage and support.

13)  We are in situation when set of elite, due ideology, ethnicity or religion, from a more strict to a more open view all ends in corruption, due to many factors, one the same elites recycle, secondly the economics interest will conflict, the answer is direct democracy, assembly and try to reach consensus, power should not be to one group or individual or political party or specific ideology. Not elite or techno elite should have control, everyone should be involved from the work places, cooperatives collectives and communes.

14)  Religion is very difficult, while Marxist construct a not believe ideology, human history is with a trail of tears in name of spiritual path, a God or Gods, but we cannot take away individual desire for certainty, through a believe or religion, should be respect, we should put line on the sand, while individuals should have the right to follow and practice his or her consciences, should not have any right to impose to others even the others are willing, more import should not be brought to public square, as political tool.  

15)  One imitated step enjoy bottom up unions, like IWW, FAU, CNT, SAC, do not wait to be save yourself, be the change, the revolution, changes start in small step, just do not accept and do yourself what you need to make better life for everyone and yourself.
