What’s the temporal cutoff to your line of reasoning? England was invaded continuously by the Norse before William conquered in 1066. Should we appropriate private property from people who have Norse surnames?



No, we recognise that all pretty much land in England has been appropriated by force from the original inhabitants, and that all claims of ownership are tainted by blood.


Agree. Except expand your sentence to include the entire world, rather than just England.
