The #US was built on land speculation. We stole land from #indigenous people and sold it making the early oligarchs richer. Our many #genocides were in service of that theft.

When there was no more land to steal, land prices began rising and foreclosures became a thing so the rich could continue to steal land.

That’s our past. That’s our present. It’s only our future if we let it be so.
