The destruction and grabbing of collective commons

Since the dawn of capitalism the logic of collective commons has been
systematically challenged by the capitalist class through commodification and
private appropriation of wealth. One of their earliest objectives, when factories
started to appear in Europe just over several centuries ago, was to take away the
common people’s resources and livelihoods by grabbing the lands they lived on and
so force them to migrate to the cities and accept the miserable and miserably paid
jobs in the factories. On farther continents under European domination, their goal
had been to grab the land and resources of local populations and force them into
hard labour under the whip of imperialist exploiters.

Gama and Ferdinand Magellan until today

In North America, the European colonization started during the


17th century, mainly led by England and France, before
undergoing a rapid expansion during the 18thcentury, an era
also marked by massive importation of African slaves
