REAL ESTATE TERMINOLOGY REVIEW
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"In theory all land belonged to the king, who gave it to
|
||
|
|
his vassals in return for service. They gave lands to still
|
||
|
|
lesser vassals, who might parcel it out still further. The
|
||
|
|
king had the right to take back any land from any of his
|
||
|
|
vassals and give it to another, and we can see from bronze
|
||
|
|
inscriptions and fromthe literature that he sometimes did
|
||
|
|
this in the early days when he was powerful. But just as in
|
||
|
|
medieval Europe, the powerful vassals soon ceased to look
|
||
|
|
upon their title as provisional. At first, when such a noble
|
||
|
|
died it was considered necessary for the king to appoint his
|
||
|
|
heir to succeed him, and to give his estates to the heir, but
|
||
|
|
this soon degenerated into a mere form, if it was maintained
|
||
|
|
at all. In practice the vassal looked upon his territory as
|
||
|
|
his by inherited right, and it was necessary to wage war to
|
||
|
|
displace him. As lesser vassals grew in power, and possessed
|
||
|
|
private armies, the same situation grew up all along the
|
||
|
|
line, so that if land changed hands it ordinarily did so
|
||
|
|
either as a result of sale or exchange, or with the accom-
|
||
|
|
paniment of violence.
|
||
|
|
"Each individual who held land as a fief from a superior
|
||
|
|
was commonly expected to turn over to that superior a por-
|
||
|
|
tion of the revenues which he received from it as tribute.
|
||
|
|
At the lower end of the scale was the aristocrat who, as a
|
||
|
|
sort of gentleman farmer, supervised directly the work of
|
||
|
|
agriculture. This supervision was delegated to the chief
|
||
|
|
among his household servants, and the actual field labour
|
||
|
|
was done by peasants, serfs, or slaves." (pp. 310-11)
|
||
|
|
"This period in Chinese history is most nearly compar-
|
||
|
|
ableto the feudal age in Europe, which came something more
|
||
|
|
than fifteen hundred years later." (p. 320)

"The centuries in which the LAO TZU was produced were cer-
|
||
|
|
tainly turbulent times. China was divided into a number of
|
||
|
|
states, to all intents and purposes autonomous, constantly
|
||
|
|
engaged in wars of increasing scope and ferocity with one
|
||
|
|
another. For the common man survival was a real and pressing
|
||
|
|
problem."

Notwithstanding both revolutionary and libertarian rhetoric
|
||
|
|
or, at least, nearly always one or the other, there is very
|
||
|
|
much evidence that today's so-called revolutionaries are in
|
||
|
|
most cases simply neo-monarchistic statists while the so-call-
|
||
|
|
ed libertarians are usually just corporate feudalists.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
"This monopoly consists in the enforcement by government
|
||
|
|
of land titles which do not rest upon personal occupancy and
|
||
|
|
cultivation. It was obvious to Warren and Proudhon that, as
|
||
|
|
soon as individuals should no longer be protected by their
|
||
|
|
fellows in anything but personal occupancy and cultivation
|
||
|
|
of land, ground-rent would disappear, and so usury would have
|
||
|
|
one less leg to stand on." -- Benjamin Tucker
