My point in posting this was to have people consider
the evolution of economic systems.
Does not "privatization" pre-exist anything else?
No, the natural world "pre-existed" everything else. Decisions over what to do with it by man came later on, along with largely imaginary distinctions between the "economic," the "political" and the "social." In fact, the idea of "infringing on one's rights" ultimately harks back to the natural -- what it takes for one to survive. If any individual or institution is restricting my ability to survive, I will more than likely say "Hey, my rights are being violated!" I've always found this rather simple to explain, but people are capable of some pretty impressive mental gymnastics.
