    Primary accumulation happens when individuals occupy vacant real estate or through violent expulsion of existing residents.

    Your world, maybe. Not the one I want me or my children to live in.

      What other means is there for primary accumulation if you’re not finding vacant land or taking occupied property?

      Are you creating new real estate from nothing?

        “Primary accumulation” as you call it was pretty well finished many generations ago in most of the world.

        Since then, written records of ownership, payment of property taxes, etc. have established title which is transferred legally in exchange for “good and valuable consideration” - usually money.
