Fifth and last part of a long article that discusses how the commons in England were gradually driven out of existence, the small farms engrossed, the land enclosed, and the commoners forcibly removed. This part discusses the mass resistance to privatization and dispossession.
Deprived of land and common rights, the English poor were forced into wage-labor.
The third part of a series of articles on early capitalism and agriculture in England. This part discusses the protestant reformers who opposed the growing drive for privatization of land in the mid-1500s.
The second part of this series discusses how in two great waves of social change, landlords and capitalist farmers conquered the field for capitalist agriculture, incorporated the soil into capital, and created for the urban industries the necessary supplies of free and rightless proletarians.
The rise of industrial capitalism was accompanied by a complex transformation of rural society wherein most people were separated from the land, and land was concentrated in the hands of a tiny minority. It happened in different ways and at different times in different parts of the world, and is still going on today.
The slogan “Socialism or Barbarism” originated with the great Polish and German revolutionary socialist leader Rosa Luxemburg, who repeatedly raised it during World War I. It was a profound concept, that has become ever more relevant as the years have passed.
The very future of civilisation is in peril – the intervention time left for mankind is rapidly shrinking.
Continuing Ian Angus’s examination of the ‘deadly trio’ of CO2-driven assaults on ocean life. Part three: ocean warming and permanent heatwaves.
