Actually, I don't dispute the right of European settlers to homestead
vacant land that actually wasn't being used, on an individual basis.
What I was responding to was your suggestion that the common property
of nomads, homesteaded by the act of using it as hunting grounds,
wasn't "real property" and that European settlers were entitled to
homestead land in such collective use on the grounds either of need
(the overpopulated cities of Europe) or more efficient technical
exploitation of the land.  The natives, in general, were usually
amenable to foreign settlements on land they weren't actually using --
I don't think they had a collective right to exclude people from using
vacant land they weren't using themselves, any more than native
citizens today have a collective ownership over land that a Mexican
national might like to move onto.

I consider myself pretty hard left, and I can't imagine why anyone
would get bent out of shape by that.  Anyone who wants to bully girls
like that into having abortions against their own judgment or
inclination seriously needs to consider Willie Nelson's dictum:  the
world would be a better place if everybody smoked a joint every day
and minded their own goddamned business.
