-- This is a paragraph from an interesting and concise op-ed regarding the Bundy Oregon occupation.

"In the western United States, enclosure meant fencing what had been held in common, transforming it into (public) property, and thus dispossessing and immiserating Indigenous people and producing nature as a collective patrimony of white settlers. The Bundys and other ranchers have benefitted from these enclosures for well over a century, but now they want to further enclose what is already enclosed, to privatize what the Northern Paiutes had to be dispossessed of before the land could be made public. Nature preservation has often itself been a form of enclosure - see Bram Büscher's contribution here for a contemporary example - but I disagree with writer and filmmaker Charles Mudede's claim that the occupation at Malheur is against "capitalism itself." Bundy and his followers do not want to end the enclosures, but instead to carve out their own enclosures within the shell of the state's. To be an aggrieved rancher is not the same thing as an "emancipated" serf."
