“The first man who had fenced in a piece of land, said "This
is mine," and found people naïve enough to believe him, that
man was the true founder of civil society. From how many
crimes, wars, and murders, from how many horrors and
misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by
pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his
fellows: Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone
if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all,
and the earth itself to nobody.”
— Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Discourse on Inequality, 1754
