Via freeman: Stromberg on land theft
Posted on April 19th, 2006 by Brad Spangler
Freeman reads Agorist Quarterly so you don’t have to (even though you should). Check out this post regarding Stromberg on land theft:
Share ThisStromberg’s analysis complements the analysis of people like Kevin Carson and Karl Marx by coming to the conclusion that the English enclosures were a result of political coercion benefitting a privledged minority. This essay also provides the additional service of comparing the English enclosures to not only the Soviet collectivization of land, but also to the Latin American latifundismo, or feudal land monopolies that still exist to this day. All of these coercive actions had adverse effects on the peasantries of each respective country.
I sent for the one and only issue of Agorist Quarterly; it came a couple of days ago. Good stuff (though I’m surprised at Konkin’s claim to have coined the term “anti-concept” — I’m pretty sure that’s Rand’s coinage). But what I’m wondering is: what’s the copyright status of the material in this issue?
I wouldn’t mind knowing the copyright status of the material myself. I would assume that Victor Koman is the person to ask about that, along with the authors of the material.
Whatever happened to Joseph Stromberg? I’d certainly like to see his essay on land theft somewhere online, such as the Molinari Institute’s online library.
I’ll contact Koman, and try to contact Stromberg, to find out.
Koman says the copyrights belong to the authors. I’m happy to announce that I’ve gotten permission from Joe Stromberg to post his land theft piece on the Molinari Institute website. I’m about to go out of town for a week but I’ll post it when I get back.

I’m pleased to announce that the Stromberg article is now online, with more Agorist Quarterly articles to follow.
