Same thing, effectively. Funny enough that land was grabbed back in the 1600's based on very flimsy rhetoric about how just claiming land for yourself was a god given right for all human beings and that it would solve all problems by free market principles (which were not yet formalized but would soon be, specifically based on said rhetoric).
We were fucked by hobby philosophers hundreds of years ago. Don't come tell me a philosophy degree is worthless.
They were gonna do that anyways. The philosophers were just hired as PR men.
Those are called sophists. Today we'd call them lawyers. Or Republicans.
