- andrepd 2y agoWell the obvious response is then "can I conquer your land by force too?". No. Because there is a construction of "lawful property rights" that starts with the appropriation of land by force but protects the new owner from the same.
- pcthrowaway 2y agoWell technically the land can still be appropriated by force, only you have to apply it against the entire system which enforces "lawful property rights"

- flutas 2y agoor just use the system which enforces "lawful property rights" see: Adverse Possession
