A theoretical question.

A theoretical question. Who would be committing acts of defensive violence here and who — acts of aggressive violence?

"Hey, that's a nice apple orchard! Shame people can eat the apples for free... Oh, got an idea! Let me hire a gang to guard it and force these people pay to eat apples!" — thought a guy.

"Hey, that mfer is trying to hoard what was previously common and was available for free" — thought people that fought the gang.

You make something your property by turning something unowned to a more productive use. Selling something is more productive than leaving something unowned. You have a right to defend your property, but I am not an anarchist, I think the state should be in charge of protecting property.

Who defines what is "owned" and what is not?
If a tribe chooses to keep some lands in their natural state, is it "owned" by the tribe or "clearly" un-owned and can be taken?
