If the original occupant of the land does not have a concept of "property rights", what then?


Lets not kid ourselves. All rights to "real property" in the world have started off as a result of the use of force. International Law still recognizes that property seized as a result of war can be legal.

In England, the Celts seized it from the Aboriginals, then the Angles and the Saxons seized it from them, who lost it to the Normans. The ones on the bottom came over here and seized land from the Indians, who had seized it from other Indians.
